SCAMMERS ARE KNOCKING AT AR'S DOOR AGAIN

By
Real Estate Agent with Real Estate Professionals of Glynn

OK, do I have a bullseye plastered on the front or top of my bright and shiny hairless head?  It looks like the Nigerians are at it again.  I do not know who this person is but from the language, spelling and poor typographical skills, I would say it is another attempt to lure another unsuspecting member of AR into some sort of fraud.  What I am referring to is the email posted below which I received earlier today.  I checked the AR membership and there is no such member.  Therefore, I suspect that this individual came in through the public side.  I would like to let everyone in the AR Community know to be on the outlook for similar emails.  This is my second scam emailreceived through AR and the powers at be put a block on the first contact.  Therefore, I will assume that they will do the same for this individual. But I thought I would put this notice out for those who might also be a target of what obviously is another variation on a scam.  I responded to this individual and have yet to receive a response.  If I do, I will post it for others to see so you will know what you are looking at.  Email Below:

I know there isn't much that can be done to prevent further instances of this but doesn't just frost you that there are jerks out there who will try any avenue to milk us for their individual gain.
