This number was posted on craigslist for a rental listing in Hawaii. Total scam, come to find out the house is 4 houses away from my grandparents and we know the owners. SCAM!!
This guy almost had my wife scammed, good thing I googled him first and saw this post. His poor use of the English language, name and business was a dead give away.
here is how his e-mail reads:
Hello,
It's my great pleasure that you are interested in our lovely home that we have for rent. I am Rev Misao Tanouye the owner of this home, Actually we resided in this home before and presently we have packed out due to my transfer as a matter of my profession,where I work as a volunteer with Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability (ECFA),here is the site for more detail about why I am here in ( MARYLAND ). (www.wycliffe.org) And my wife who is a missionary's dealing with Bible Translation and literacy worldwide.. As soon as we settle down here I had a thought of selling the house so I have to look for an agent, after getting one, we got a deal but later my wife advised against that. in other to keep our head when we return that we have to keep the house. I reasoned with her and accepted her advise. So I contacted the agent back and requested for my keys and documents. Later we decided to have the house rent out, we would have give the same agent this job also but the truth of the matter is that the agent would want to handle it professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along with him later.
If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for the property. I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the house because we won't be able to see physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the space. But I just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind of structure down should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, so if you belief you can take good care of the house and handle it like yours then I will be more than happy to let you rent the house.
NB: You can go check the neighborhood and get back to me for further discussion, any sign post will be removed once i get any responsible tenant so you ignore the sign post cause i have stop dealing and contacting the Realtor for too much fees i pay trying to ripe me off. It is available for a long term lease as we will be here for 5 years and also intend buying a new home on getting back to the states.Pets acceptable and References is a must.get back to me as soon as possible because i need a tenant urgently .
Please if you are ready now to occupy the house kindly provide the information below for record purpose
