Hi Once Again,

Thanks so much for responding. I must confess I am quite comfortable with the cost and it is okay by me .I will like to make the first month payment ahead of my arrival and the subsequent month will be effected thereafter as I plan to stay for as long the lease is drawn and I’m so glad to get a place at last and i will be glad renting the place and also if you hold the place for me, I should be arriving as Soon as all arrangements are okay by you and i will be signing applications and leases when I arrive to America.
As for my mode of payment, My Ex company once owed me some money and they have agreed to pay me back only in form of a check which i have been waiting for a long time for this money and I have now talked to them that i will like them to send the money to you which they have granted, and they will be sending you a check of my last payment in which i will like you to deduct your first month rent fee and deposit from it and i will like you to help me send the remaining balance to my traveling agency because the money you will be sending to them will be used to book for my flight ticket to the states.
I will need your following information below so as to prepare the check:
(1)Your full name as it will appear on the check,
(2) Your work or home address to ensure delivery in your hands through regular mails or a courier service this week,
(3) Your phone number to keep contact close and avoid package missing in transit.

I will also like to know the nearest airport to the house. I will also like to know if you will be available to come pick me up from the airport and show me around or if I should make alternative arrangement. I'll be so glad if you can reserve the Place for me and help remove all your the adverts about the place as I'll love to rent the place.

I do part time modeling call myself an amateur though,LOL,just something I take as a hobby and also I have a masters degree in Computer Science. I am new living all alone as i have lived with my mom alone in the past but I have no doubts in my mind about my ability to live peacefully with as I was raised to be a lover of peace.Well,i think we will get along well because am a easy going person who respects ones privacy, like I said I don't do drugs or smoke but I drink only occasionally, I strongly believe there will not be any problems living with me as I was raised by strong catholic Christian parents and have imbibed such good qualities from childhood.

How the scam works is that they will send you a money order or cashier's check for the rent and deposit, once you deposit the check they will ask you to wire a portion of the money to them . . . the problem is that the check/money order if FAKE so once the bank figures that out, they will want YOU to pay them back the money you wired.

Basically, if they want to send you a check/money order and then for any reason want you to wire any portion of the money back, DON'T!
