Email #1, from Cameron (scam-baiter):

Dear <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>,

I hope this message finds you and your family in good health and spirits, especially during what must be a challenging time with the recent passing of your father. I’m deeply sorry for your loss. It’s clear that you care deeply about ensuring the well-being of the apartment you cherished with your family, and I want to assure you of my utmost respect and care for the property as if it were my own. The apartment, as described and shown through the provided video walkthrough, seems perfectly aligned with what I’m searching for, providing a sense of warmth and comfort that’s instantly appealing.

I’m reaching out to express my serious interest and intent to proceed with the rental application for the apartment located at 37-56 80th Street, Jackson Heights, NY 11372. The terms, including the monthly rent of $1100 and the refundable security deposit of $1000, are agreeable to me.

As requested, please find below my application details:

Regarding the additional request for a copy of either a driver’s license, international passport, or a picture of myself, may I inquire about the safest method to transmit such sensitive information? I understand and echo your concerns regarding security and ensuring a smooth, transparent transaction, especially in light of your previous experiences. Would it be acceptable to use a secure document sharing service, ensuring both our peace of mind?

Moreover, with an understanding of your current residence in California and your emphasis on maintaining this property with due care, would you be able to provide any references or feedback from previous tenants? This would greatly help in understanding the living experience and the landlord-tenant relationship you foster.

I’m eagerly awaiting your guidance on how we might conclude the lease process, allowing me to plan my transition into what I hope to make my new home. My contact information is provided above, should you find it easier to discuss any aspect of this application over the phone or through immediate email correspondence.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to potentially calling 37-56 80th Street, Jackson Heights, my home, and building a respectful and positive rapport as your tenant.

Warm regards and God bless,

Email #2, from John:

Hi Cameron,
 
This is in receipt of your details, I have attached a soft copy of the lease document for you to have a clue about the terms and condition since am out of the city, Please read through it carefully and if you are okay with our terms, the hard copy, keys and authorization letter will be sent to you via FedEx.

  I want you to know that, what my family and I are in search of is an occupant who is calm, friendly and well organized, an occupant that we can create a good relationship with for future purposes... We are a very little family that tries very hard to stay away from issues and we are only willing to give out our apartment to a family or an individual who is peaceful and God fearing.

  I am that kind of man who doesn't give what I can't eat, I believe in the golden rule... treat others the way you want to be treated, I fear and respect God knowing he doesn't like ugly.. I am just trying to make my intention clear to you that I am not the type that takes any human for granted and I don't run around, I am straight and expect the same of what I give, I just want to rent my home out so it doesn't stay empty.

 Also I need you to understand that the money factor would never be an issue for me, because I know how difficult it is most times to get funds, that's why my wife and I are always open to listening to people's needs.

  As I said in my previous email, We are out of the state and the reason we have the keys and documents here with us is because we never had it in mind to rent out our home, but since we're going to be staying here longer than expected my wife insisted we rent it out to a lucky family or individual at a very affordable price...
 So I need you to get back to me and give me your move in date... the names of everyone moving in with you, your pets’ names. Also I need your mailbox/delivery address. I will be sending you the keys and documents. Let me know if you can make the security deposit payment now so I can make the shipping arrangements immediately. After viewing and signing the lease agreement, you can proceed with the first month rent payment immediately after moving in.
 Please note that the security deposit is needed as a sign of commitment towards renting the apartment and it's refundable at the end of your lease contract or if after you view the apartment and have a change of mind, the security deposit is refundable immediately on request.
 
Below is the following step to take.
1) Payment for the deposit, because the apartment is locked, for security reasons, the keys are with me and need to be sent via FedEx including the paperwork and receipt for deposit.
2) You have to reconfirm your delivery address you would want to receive the package from.
3) You have to assure me that you would take very good care of the apartment. Fees:

 Per Month: $1100
 Security / Deposit: $1000

 4) The House Documentary file.
 5) Deposit Payment Receipt.
 6) Full address and description of the house
 7) Utilities include water, heat, Electricity Bill and Wi-Fi
 8) The apartment is not furnished.
   
   My wife and I have contracted with an apartment manager and we are hoping he will work with you on this matter. We have provided his details below. So you can go through it for trust and our mutual benefit. I am giving all these details so we can trust and work with me. My wife believes this will work in the right direction. 

 

 The details for the apartment manager are below.

Name: Sir Michael Joel

Cell Phone:  <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PHONE_NUMBER>‬

Email: <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_EMAIL_ADDRESS>

The apartment manager has been able to confirm the deed of my apartment and also check the property with the New York  Housing Authority to ensure I own the property. So I will confirm the payment for a deposit before shipping the keys to you or the apartment manager. This is in line with the agreement as suggested by my wife and agreed by the apartment manager.

 When I get your response to this mail, I will send you the payment information and likely call you so that we can discuss it. Please inform me if you use a payment app like PayPal, Zelle, or Apple pay.


God Bless You.

John Luis
