Real Estate Scam - Beware of an email like the following...

Michael-

I would also be on the look out for Elizabeth's brother Gabrio. He likes to hang out in Russia and travels to the US frequently!

Always great advice!

Thanks!

Good information. These messages come from a number of countries. Some are very creative.

My goodness what will they think of next. It seems scammers are everywhere! Thanks for the tip!

Michael:  Thanks so much for the information.  It seems that there's always somebody out there trying to work some sort of scam.  I would NEVER dial any phone number that came to me in something like that.  Once they have ANY sort of electronic CONNECTION to you... it could easily spread to other things.  Again... thanks for the "heads up."

Good post, those who fall for the scam will be those too blind to see that it is a scam.  Like yourself, I work with a closed client list, something that most people in my area find completely bizarre, but something which has allowed me to have so much improved lifestyle and job satisfaction.  It is the only way to go!

Michael,

Thanks for the alert.  I am not certain how this scam works because the 882 area code is different from the 900 area code in regards to billing.  This system of international calls also includes 880 and 881.  There are also some legitimate users of 882.

I have many international clients so I would normally be quick to call any number, you may have saved me.  The thing I didn't like is the fact that she is unable to pick up emails -- that would worry me.  I am going to take my time in researching any clients with country codes that are not familiar.

Wow!  That's just bad.  I, agree with you, know your client database.  Happy to be working by referral!
