William Martin Powers William Martin African Local Rental Scam Ikeja,Lagos,Nigeria 23401 Nationwide
Another African Scam found while I was searching for a new place to move.Im sure it's on Craigslist nationwide too.I went to Rentals.com for Denver,Co.His name and a colorado phone number that I sent a text to&received a response back is being used.He wanted me to text my email which I did for an application and more information about the house.I called the Denver Police after I received the email and was told it's been going on for years now.Its time for America to boycott Africa.Dont send them any money American citizens for any reason for services,goods,absolutely nothing.If they have family here working let them send them money.They will take your money&you will never hear from them.Its making the citizens scamming us rich over there.They are thieves and liars.The email had someone's photos a Caucasian male that was probably stolen off Google+,Facebook,or Twitter pretending to be him.Here is a copy of the email sent to me with 10 attachments 1 of a fake proof of homeowners document&10 pictures stolen from someone's trip around the world.the stolen photos arent in this just 1 with a name:
Hello, thank you for your interest in my home this is so new to me as am renting my house out for the first time the house is STILL AVAILABLE am renting this house to a responsible and honest person or family that can treat this house as his or her own..you can contact me directly on (720) 399-8743 Try to understand that its not money that matters to me but what really matter most is to have the right person to occupy the house that was the main reason why am not charging any fee on utilities and pets,You can drive in and check the house from the outside you can see the interior part of the house through the window and pictures on the website. to tell you a bit more of myself am a TOURIST i traveled round the world Currently in WEST AFRICA for peace keeping program against the TERRORIST BOKO HARAM adopting,kidnapping and killing innocent people over here i am God fearing, honest and straight forward person my family recently relocated to our other home in Virginia.
The house is in good condition the process to apply for my home first step you will need to fill out an online application form which cost $50 per adult second step you must have a good reference and must have the full payment to secure the house no credit or back ground check. APPLICATIONS ARE APPROVED WITHIN 30 MINUTE OF SUBMISSION... please Kindly check some information about the house These are some information of the house: Number of Bedrooms: 2 Number of baths: 1 Square footage: 1,008 Pets are allowed!!!

However,it is unfortunate that my past bitter experiences of inviting people to come and view or reserve homes without any form of confirmation of their financial ability and seriousness and most cases not keeping to agreed time as scheduled for viewing,which had brought a great lost to me. my cousin had to drive all the way from VA to take the so called interested candidates round the house Some outside tenants do not have the money to pay the rent and yet they disturbs the landlord to arrange a viewing with their friend or relative, likewise some do not meet up with the appointments which has led to the dismissal of some landlords in office by their employers. so i have set a standard that if you really want my house you will need to put a deposit down on the house once your payment is confirmed
i will have my cousin come down to the house then u can see the inside of the house if you check the house and you don't like it your money is totally refundable, and if your application form got approved you can sign a lease and move in as well . attached is the proof of ownership and my pictures kindly make your application fee via money gram or western union to me Name WILLIAM MARTIN City ikeja Stat lagos country Nigeria zipcode 23401 security question money for what security answer application fee you are to input the payment MTCN/REFERENCE NUMBER on the application form website before you submit............. Get back to me asap. Warm Regards. WILLIAM MARTIN POWERS. 10 attachments WILLIAM OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATE.jpg · Print After a swim.JPG · Print

We have all been actual tenants of Marty Powers on South Corona St. (and other places) where he owns 3 or 4 homes in a row and who also does business as black widow LLC, (The name fits him perfectly.)
He is a terrible landlord and when you try and move out; he sends exorbitant fees for normal wear and tear and bogus repairs that are his responsibility, and is not afraid to file small claims court lawsuits in a conscience effort to extort more funds out of you.
We think he is holding on by a shoestring and really doesn't have any money to keep the houses up, so he tries to bilk his tenants. He comes on very charming and then after a short while, turns on you. We haven't found one tenant he hasn't filed suit against when they decided to leave one of his rentals.
If nothing else, do yourself a favor and check him out with the neighbors. He has burned all bridges with all of them.
Stay clear of this guy.
He is psychotic.

Today I talked to the real William Martin he is local in Denver and dont do business from Africa.His identity was stolen and western union money in Africa is being picked up using his name.He has contacted the police and western union with no luck so far to stop the scammers.dont send any money to Africa they can steal Americans identities and use their names to pick up money from western union.Africa&western union is allowing this to happen.i think Africans can just use fake names without questions being asked at western union or moneygram it's a major problem.
