Post subject: | Am i getting scammed? guy from UK wants to lease my house |
This is a copy of the numerous emails we sent to each other the past couple days, this guy has called me from overseas a couple times, he will not pay more than the $2000.00 a month though do you think this is the same thing? Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2006 15:12:01 -0700 From: mike.henson@firstclassinvestments.com Add to Address Book Add Mobile Alert Subject: RE: [FWD: RE: Tripp Way Details] To: "dan desmet" <dedesmet@yahoo.com> -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: [FWD: RE: Tripp Way Details] From: dan desmet <dedesmet@yahoo.com> Date: Thu, November 23, 2006 8:20 pm To: mike.henson@firstclassinvestments.com Thank you for the prompt reply, I will need to secure this property with a tenant starting in December, it is ready for occupation now, is this going to be a problem? No problem from our side, my client is expecting me to confirm the status on this property by 1700 GMT tomorrow as they have to ship their personal belonging on Monday and that requires an address to send them to. Do you think we can nail this by then? Can you send me a rental/lease agreement that you have used in the past, so that I can compare it to mine? Their previous agreement is in Spanish and prior to that in Swedish. They are not suitable for your market both of these jurisdictions are completely different to the US market and I believe the cost of translation will be around $1500 which makes it cheaper to draft something locally. After I am able to contact a reference or two, I will fell more secure and would like to move forward, what would the next step be? We are going to have to write to their references to request a response. This will take a few days whilst we draft a letter and get it translated into Spanish and Swedish; wait for the response and then get them translated into English. Lets get this ball rolling. I have a few other families interested in the property and dont want them to be kept waiting. Thank you, Dan --- mike.henson@firstclassinvestments.com wrote: --------------------------------- -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [FWD: RE: TrippWay Details] From: dan desmet <dedesmet@yahoo.com> Date:Thu, November 23, 2006 5:17 pm To:mike.henson@firstclassinvestments.com So far, so good. acouple points and a request: The prospective tenants are non-smokers- that is very good, do they have any special circumstancesI should be aware of which may need any special attention fromme. I know this sounds vague, but I need to know about anyincidental information which may affect the house. No, they are just a normal Christian family;non-smokers, non-drinkers. If there is something specific you want meto get answered, do not hesitate to ask. They have a dog - daschound - seems reasonable, it can notbe a nuisance to the neighbors. ex. barking all night long or a lotduring the day We have had no complaints from their otherlandlords. They must care for the lawn and landscaping professionalcarpet cleaning will be required if they move out - because of thedog No problem, carpet cleaning is standard inEurope. they pay all utilities Again no problem. I am assumingproperty/city taxes are paid by you I do not pay for pool care, that is fairly simple They have indoor pool in the UK and all theproperties in Spain have all had pools. They will probably just hiresomeone to handle that. The repair of the home theater projector will bethier responsibility if required, I just replaced the bulb fromthe last tenants ($300.00)they must have used it improperly Ok I want to contact some references whom they have rentedfrom I will contact their last landlord and obtain areference/translation for you. What does LTT stand for? Lightstream Transmission & TelecomInc do you have any contractual documentation I can look overconcerning the coverage of liabilities by LTT, or do you have areadily available lease agreement we can start with, if so pleasee-mail Normally we ask for an officer of LTT toprovide a simple letter of guarantee. It is a one page letter thatsimply states that LTT will guarantee their performance of theircontractual obligations. We try to keep things as simple aspossible. If your clients would be interested in purchasingthe property after the lease, can you send me a contract whichwould represent this type of transaction? this can help a great dealin expeditiing the process. We have not handled a rent to own transactionbefore, we either handle straight rentals or straight sales. The salescontracts we have here do not cover that situation; however I wouldrecommend that should you decide to go with my client that you and hesit down during the Christmas period and discuss how to set it up; thenarrange for a lawyer to draft something. I will be periodically checking my DEDESMET@Yahoo accountthroughout the day, but tomorrow I will only be able to access thedaniel.desmet@beale.af.mil account so once again please send to bothaccounts when corresponding, thanks,Dan |

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: Tripp Way Details From: mike.henson@firstclassinvestments.com Date: Wed, November 22, 2006 11:07 pm To: DeSmet Daniel E SMSgt MXG/MXAA <Daniel.Desmet@beale.af.mil> I am leaning towards working a deal with you, but there are definitely some questions I need to address. I do not know these guys and I am really sticking my neck out, maybe you can help me out with some details of the agreement, since this is the type of arrangement you are used to dealing with I have been instructed to increase the deposit because I don’t know whom I am dealing with, or have some sort of way out in the first month Don’t let this scare you away, I just don’t want to get stuck with “renters from hell†I would like some more information and references please Help to effectively convince me that these people are what you tell me they are, “professionals†that will respect the property I think with a corporate guarantee then you avoid that headache altogether. The company will co-sign or issue a letter of guarantee to you for the rent. In the event of default, then the company is liable; they are also liable in case of damage to the property. A little about my client, he is a homeowner in the UK, we have handled his family's relocations to/from UK, Spain, France and Sweden we have never had a complaint about them. He has been employed by LTT for twelve years in the capacity of Chief Technologist . I am not sure whether you have access to verify this information, but he has security clearance (SSBI?) which from what I understand it means there have been background checks made on him at some point. I discussed this with him a few years ago and LTT seems to supply consulting and services to a number of US agencies hence he required this level of certification. If you have any questions about my client, please feel free to ask. If I do not have the information to hand, I am in daily contact with them so I can get information quickly. Here is a copy of the lease agreement I use, this does not include a “lease to own†option, if this is what your tenents want, can you offer some of the requirements which you would like to see in the agreement Your documentation seems all straight forward; my recommendation would be that once you are comfortable with my client, then we can have the paperwork drawn up and I'll have a letter of guarantee issued by the company to cover any liabilities under the contract.

dd1001, I assume you are Dan Desmet, looking to rent your property to some third party being represented by Mike Henson? Is that right? However, his last letter to you seems to be asking you to provide references for his 'client', but then goes in to say that they are known to his company, and they've handled his previous relocations. His emails read like they are written by a fluent English speaker, with no obvious grammatical or spelling errors that are normally evident in scams originated abroad. Have you checked his email headers to see where his emails are originating from? Have you spoke to him on the telephone? Do you have a telephone contact number for him?
