They have you write a contract on one; they send in an Earnest Money check, which if you call the number on the check, it is considered valid, but if you go to the financial institution, they will tell you it's fraudulent; title deposits the Earnest Money "Cashier's check"; then they try to cancel and ask for a refund and have a valid check sent to them in hopes they can cash it, get the money all before the fraudulent check they sent in is discovered. They often pose behind pseudonyns of "real" people/identities they discover online, so if you were to look up the individual, you could find a real person out there. Pretty stupid and not very likely to be successful. If your instincts tell you something's up, listen to them and proceed cautiously.
Good job Joanna! I too, got hit with these e-mails, but when the group told me "you don't have to do ANYTHING. We handle it all. You just let us make the offer on your Short Sale Listings." Alarm bells all over the place. I told them I don't deal with scammers, and to get a real job..
