I'm sure I'm not the only one receiving these emails from multi-million dollar buyers, investors, and others that want to give me free money!!! If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!
Here's a warning that came from another Keller Williams Realty office....
We received a check in the mail this week, drawn on a shipping company in Wisconsin, in the amount of $9500.00. The check came in an envelope that was posted in Nigeria, with no explanation of why they were sending us the money. It was made payable to Keller Williams Realty.
I found the telephone number for the shipping company, and called them. Apparently their routing number and account number had been illegally appropriated about a month ago (the check was dated March 23), and the check was bogus.
I don't what the sender of the check would get out of it. Unless there is some way of getting our account number and routing number by tracking the deposit? I don't know a whole lot about illegal banking schemes.
As I do not deposit a check if I don't know what it's for, there was no harm done to us. I just want to warn everyone just in case there is some sort of scam going around.
I'm always looking for new buyers...right???

Here's a warning from the Rhode Island Association of Realtors...
Most of us have received correspondence about “get rich quick schemes”; questionable companies that promise that save homes from foreclosures; a Nigerian or other diplomat who needs your help smuggling money out of his country, etc. The latest is a man who is trying to buy high-end real estate by posing as a new Patriots football player who has received a large signing bonus. Allegedly, he has tried this scam in other states as well is in Rhode Island and was arrested in Connecticut.
If you are approached by a person who is making these claims, please contact the NFL's Security Representative to the New England Region - Richard Farley at (860) 490-3480 and/or Inspector Phil Fazzino of the New London State's Attorney's Office at (860) 443-2835/(860) 443-5065.
