One caller thought it was a scam.

Phishing Scam Targets REALTORS®By Melanie Wyne, Helen Devlin In recent months, real estate professionals have reported an upswing in a particular wire scam.

This affair seems to be a big scam and I wanted to have your insight on that point?

Unfortunately there's an entire class of real estate 'educators' who have promoted this kind of predatory scam under the guise of 'investing' for many, many years.Does this sound familiar?"

This makes me think that I need to be more than prepared to avoid "great-deals" and such from scam artists uhmm?!

Friend of mine just got scammed out of $4K with a roof contractor.

And you know, most of the people who run these scams are in no ways dumb.

I would only add, and I'm sure it goes without saying, that if she asks you to wire or transfer any earnest money directly to her without actually physically meeting *in* the property, it may be a scam.

As you all know, searching the internet to learn about how to invest in real estate leads to many scam-type websites.

The income is great haha.http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/03/03/feds-crack-down-on-chinese-birth-tourism-scam/
