________________________________ Douglas (or whomever you are): Your rental scam is old and tired!!!!!!!!! There are several scam tips/alerts online about you and your so called story. See link below. http://www.scamdex.com/ScamTipReports/14646 I want to let you know that you better crawl back into the slimy little worm hole you came out of and hide there for a long time. I have reported you to the District and State Attorneys in Oregon, Illinois and Utah and all 3 said that they would be investigating your little scam, and prosecute you to the full extent of the law in their respective jurisdictions. My suggestion Mexico! XXXXXXXXXXXX P.S. You may want to invest some of the money you\'ve scammed off the hard work of others to pay for a GED. In looking at the way you write, you are clearly not smart enough to pull off any sort of major scheme/scam. Good luck in your hiding!!! In a message dated 5/20/2014 4:38:16 A.M.

My husband (xxxxxx) is being relocated to the Albany area in the next month or so by his company. He will be in Oregon during the week of xxxxxxx, to take a look at his new work site and to do some house hunting. With that in mind, we would love to get the rental application in advance, that way if everything goes well when he sees the property we can move pretty quickly. Just to let you know a little bit about us — xxx is xx y.o. and I am xx y.o. We have been married for many years. xxxxx is a xx year retiree from xxxxxx. He retired young and got bored so he went back to work in the same industry (xxxxxxxxx) for xxxxxxxg. With the merger of xxxxxxxxxx last year they are now the xxxx largest xxxxxxx company in the United States. With that in mind, the company needs good people in key positions. That is why xxxxxxx has been asked to play a key management role in their Albany location. I am a xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, and I work from a home office. xxxxxxx is one of the largest (if not the largest) xxxxxxxxxx companies in the world. You are welcome to check out my Linkedin profile to see more about my background before I was a xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. In keeping with the foregoing, we both have excellent, stable jobs, and would have no problem making timely rental payments. Douglas, I want to let you know we are Christians and we take our commitments very seriously. That being said, we would treat and take care of your beautiful home as if it were our own. We have good credit and have been renting at the same place for 4 (four) years. We would have not problem providing you with whatever you need to feel comfortable renting to us (e.g., copies of last years tax return, paycheck stubs, letter from our current landlord, letter from our Pastor, etc.). We know it has got to be difficult to try to rent your place without meeting us personally so we want you to feel as comfortable as possible in doing so. In answer to your questions, we would love to develop a long-term rental relationship with you that may hopefully result in our being able to purchase the property at some point. That is, of course, if it were to be a win-win situation for both our families. I am embedding herein some pictures of us so you can see what we look like and what we are all about. Douglas, you can also check me out on the internet and social media at the following links: Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/XXXXXXXXXXXX Facebook: www.facebook.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx My website: www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com Sorry to be so long winded, but I wanted to try to set your mind at ease and let you what kind of people we are and what we are all about. Should you have any remaining questions and/or comments please do not hesitate to contact us. Blessings, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx In a message dated 5/19/2014 3:38:49 P.M.
