Is this a Scam?

[Kin Hei Lam]

Hi

I recently saw a property on zillow. It is listed as for sale by owner and the asking price is well below the market value of the home. I sent the owner a message and yesterday, got a reply from someone in London claiming to be the agent with exclusive selling rights to the property, I've checked the public records for the property and there are no violations that would justify such a huge price cut.

Below is a copy/paste of the email

 Hi,

My name is Vera Drost from London / United Kingdom, I am a real estate agent and I have international activity for the EKO Immo Company.

We have received your contact from Zillow with regards to a property located in  Rego Park, NY 11374 

We have exclusivity in selling this property and it is available now, are you still interested?

Regards,

Vera Drost,

International Agent

EKO-Immo®

Has any one dealt with this person or company before? or maybe even a similar situation?

Thanks
Kin

As far as I know, real estate agents have to be licensed in the state they're working/listing. So, an international real estate company would still need a local representative. 

Many Nigerian scam are being handled through the U.K., so, it's likely that it's a scam.
