Buying with USDT? Could be a scam?

[Meng Lin]

Not sure if I should post in creative real estate financing. Gonna give it a try here. There are so many news about the buying houses with cryptocurrency, especially in Manhattan. However, it's still not adopted by the majority of sellers. This year when I advertise some of my company listings, I keep getting the leads asking if they could pay with USDT.

One guy scheduled the showing appointment but didn't show up. Another lady got super offended when I asked her for financial proof. Eventually she sent her USDT balance screenshot showing how much she owns, which seems like she can afford the luxury apartment in Manhattan. But I am still very skeptical. It's easy to make a fake balance. I even wonder if this is an organized scam. Someone is behind this to teach people how to scam the agents or the sellers. 

Any comments or ideas are appreciated. Thank you!
