Beware scammers using Trulia to target real estate agents and home sellers in scam.
Last week Customized Arizona Coyotes Jerseys , I become just another real estate agent caught in this scam. Fortunately, I saw the scam and alerted the closing agent and listing agent before any more time and money was lost.
Unfortunately, several real estate agents throughout the United States were not as lucky. Within the last few days of publishing a SCAM ALERT, I have heard from real estate agents who weren't as lucky.
Worse, closing agents and house sellers have lost money to this scam.
This scam NEVER should cause loss of money, though it has.
This scam NEVER should cause real estate agents or closing agents (including real estate attorneys) to lose time or money Cheap Arizona Coyotes Jersey , though it has.
At this time last week, I thought I was working with a previous customer named Seiichiro Matsubayashi whom I had helped purchase a home a few years ago.
That's whom I *thought* had contacted me. His name was too close to this scammer's close I didn't confirm last name until some damage had occurred.
This was my big mistake.
I did not immediately confirm past customer's name. Though this scammer's alias was close, "Matsubayashi" turned out NOT to be my previous customer's name.
As with all other realtors mixed up in this scam, all realtors confirmed:
聲 Scammers mention Trulia in the initial email to them asking for help in buying a property. In my case, there was no mention of Trulia, though I have a Trulia account.
聲 Scammers use this phone number: 1-416-824-1768
聲 Scammers use these email addresses: edbrown@ & seiichiro@
聲 Scammers ask for listings of 4 bedroom Youth Marian Hossa Jersey , 2 bath properties to be provided in $400,000-$500,000 price range.
聲 Scammers provide bank statement with $3.4MM, drawn off CIBC Bank in Canada as proof of funds.
聲 Scammers ask for closing agent's full contact information in order to provide $155,000 earnest money deposit in certified funds. If agent requests wire instead of cashier's, scammer indicates "Mr. Matsubayashi" temporarily is out of Canada and not able to execute a wire through his appointed law firm Youth Jason Demers Jersey , Cassells Brock.
聲 Scammers request quick close with REALTOR paying out of pocket for required inspections - to be reimbursed later (of course).
Naturally, you wonder what house hunter in his right mind offers to purchase a property sight unseen. You're right, typicallly no buyer agrees to purchase sight unseen. In Florida, however, agents regularly work with buyers "sight unseen."
Further, all the while I thought I was hearing from a previous customer who did purchase and whose Asian assistant managed all communication with me.
As crazy and unnatural as it seems to be contacted off your website and given terse instructions to draw up purchase paperwork without negotiations, that is what I experienced lete with hefty earnest money deposit provided as certified funds, not a wire.
Sadly, some realtors contacting me about this same scam perpetrated on them claimed the closing agent and realtor never saw the scam until after:
聲 SELLER actually moved out of the house (at great expense).
聲 CLOSING AGENT refunded the buyer's $155,000 when the buyer consummates the scam by canceling the purchase and demanding his $155,000 be refunded. Apparently Youth Alex Goligoski Jersey , some closing agents do NOT demand wired funds to open & close a file. Apparently, some closing agents do NOT require "false funds" issued as certified checks to clear before (i.e. 10 days) before issuing refund on cancellation.
聲 REAL ESTATE AGENT wastes time and money (in some reported cases).
You see, real people (real estate and closing agents & house sellers) are really being hurt across the United States by this scam targeting Real Estate Agents (apparently through Trulia), Closing Agents & Home Sellers. Fortunately, I confirmed the last name of my previous customer, but not quickly enough. In my case Youth Oliver Ekman-Larsson Jersey , I'd drawn up all paperwork, met with list agent and Seller who in turn were ecstatic to be selling at full list in a depressed Sarasota, Florida, market.
