High End Property Scam with Chinese Buyer

Lori Mitchell-REMAX Alpine Realty Canmore Alberta Canada

Same email that was sent to Carolyn was received by myself and a associate today.
Too funny

Received same email today- am sale by owner and luckily a former realtor so easy to spot a scammer. Wonder what he gets out of this???

Just got the exact same one from Jun Sying. I have played along with him so far just waiting to see how he goes about the scam. He asked me to refer him to a Lawyer. I am in Canada so things are a little different here, we don't deal with title companies or escrow etc.

Yep. Got one from Cheng Gong.

The house would be a cash buy,and please understand i and my wife are satisfied with the pictures and

information we have seen so far as we would like to start the

purchase process from china before we arrive USA by the end of next month.

Please find below my contact information.

Address: Flat 103 south Guangshun Road Wangjing Chaoyang District China.

Telephone: 86 76 734 25522

I am willing to pay an up front deposit of $15,000 and close mid Oct

Kindly get back to me with the next step in accord.

Regards,

Cheng.

About a week a so ago, I basically received the same type of email in my inbox from Cheng Gong looking to buy a home in a Blue Collar Town for $450,000!! Then I asked for a certified/notarized bank statement for proof of funds for his all cash deal Offer and I received one supposedly from the 'Bank of Communications' (Really!). The logo for the bank was cut and pasted onto his PDF and his statement showed that he has $8.5M in it... I'm sooo glad I Googled his name and China address.

Jun Sying from Hong King is currently asking to buy one of my listings for cash. I will spare you the details and simply say that the situation is a carbon copy of so many I just read about in these comments. (Cash purchase with bank statement provided, buy sight unseen, $15,000 ready to deposit, needs attorney info asap).

Same email from Jun Sying to me as well. He/She is waiting for me to send a contract. Be waiting a long time.

Same story here in Delaware (also an attorney state) but this time I was contacted by a Miles Lee (milesl@hotmail.com). He also contacted another agent in my office with the same exact communication as he had done with me. Both of our "leads" came in from Point2Point.

I received one from Miles Lee, offering full prices cash offer closing in two months. He wanted everything sent electronically. I then called one of my settlement attorney's he immediately said he has seen this before. The client sends a bogus check and they after a week or so he will cancel the sale and request the funds returned.

Good day everybody my name is Nelson Mac am from Sweden but i live in United State San Antonio Texas few years back i was financially strained i rushed to my bank to apply for a loan to start up my business but i was denied by my bank because of my credit score and they could not help and due to my desperation i was scammed by several online lenders who promised to help me but at the end i was scam i lost my money and my hope because i was so frustrated, One day when i was going through the internet again i found one lender call Mr Larry Scott i thought to give it a try one more time to my biggest surprise he was able to lend me a secure loan totally the amount of $200,0000 for the first time in my life i realize that there are few lender who don't scam people his name is Mr Larry Scott i will advice any body that are in need of loan to contact him with his Email (scottlarry816@gmail.com) he can be able to help you because he was a God sent to me this year and i will never forget him for the help he render to me.

Same story. William Tao wanting to purchase $410,000 home sight unseen, wanting to close with an attorney (not title company), $15,000 deposit, only communicates via e-mail and lives in Beijing, but will be here for the closing in 2 months.

And now they move to purchasing high end luxury boats.

William Tao (williamtao44@gmail) insisted he close with an attorney (or at least the attorney hold the deposit) in a state that closes with title companies. He sent a deposit of $499,970 in form of a check drawn off National Bank of Canada AFTER Mr Tao and seller had both signed a mutual release of the contract for Mr Tao's non-performance in meeting earnest money deadline. And the purchase amount was only $425,000 to begin with. I had previously sent the attorney this link because it all sounded the same as the above posts. The attorney called the bank in canada and was informed it was a fraudulent check.

My realtor, in NC, just got an offer from China for a cash buy. My first reaction was to laugh and say it’s obviously a scam. My realtor said he contacted several of his folks and swears the guy is legit. My gut still says scam. My daughter called me a racist. What? After finally giving in, my realtor starts the negotiations and my gut steps back in and said it’s a scam. My goodness, this realtor is gullible. The Title Co Attorney didn’t want to deal with the guy feeling the same as me. Once again, my realtor is saying he will go through another attorney. I asked him to ensure he vetted these loonies before they get to me. Bottom line, I pick up the internet and in a few minutes find this guy is a scammer. Now, I’m wanting a new Realtor.
