A Scammer Because Im Nigerian???

We got a house under in Atlanta, GA area under contract last week, seller calls my attorney to say he was wondering if its a scam because the guy was 'Nigerian'.

My attorney (who we have closed several deals with) spoke on my behalf...all the good things etc. (then my attorney calls to let me know of the ridiculous comment)

However, I called the seller back and let him know he needed to explain what exactly I did or didn't  do to make him feel it was ok to go behind my back, call my attorney to see if I was a scammer. (Crickets)

Now, this deal would have netted at least $20k for my company but you can go to school but you can't buy class!

Since he couldn't explain why he called me a scammer or what I did to warrant that...contract cancelled...go ahead and hit Foreclosure!

I have zero tolerance for ish like that...you can burn that money...it's nothing to us. We are not motivated buyers to take such racist insults for no reason!

I hope no one is out there taking such insults for money!

Keep up the hustle my man, sounds like you are doing well!

 Haha..thank you Ryan! Im grateful. More success to you in 2019
