Warning-Craigslist..Fraud and Ebay! Be Very Careful, Warn Property Owners!
Our dearest Midori Miller has posted this blog trying to keep us informed of the latest and newest scam taking place with FSBO being the target. I have re-blogged this post because I feel it worthy of reaching as many Professionals and Consumers as possible.
Thank you Midori, for always being alert and keeping us all informed !
This morning "The listing machine" had a story he wanted me to blog about. It's a true story and can happen to anyone. Recently he has been working with one of his customers to purchase some vacant land. Now his customer has a house to sell it was placed on craigslist. He placed it there..and was shocked at what he had found.
This is not one case of this there are several on Ebay right now!
While going through ebay this same customer found his property on ebay..not placed there by him or by the listing machine.
While looking at the ebay listing it was his own words...his pictures...and definitely his house lifted from his posting on craigslist.
So who is selling it? It isn't him but someone else he does not know, a scam trying to get people to bid high for an escrow deposit.
Please, be very careful and check your city..it seems that they are going after unsuspecting FSBO's generally never been listed in the MLS.
As this story unfolds we will be sharing with you!
This is just another reason to list with a REALTOR!
