He's probably not trying to scam you, but a deed in escrow (only) is pretty worthless.

I know I may have gotten scammed but I am going to write this off as a lesson but I did learn a lot!!!!

I'd love to help some fellow Aussies and prevent them from being taken advantage of by big scams.  

In a world where consumers are afraid more than ever of “getting scammed” bandit signs don’t do you any favorsEven More Importantly Than Everything Else Already Mentioned: OUTDOOR MEDIA IS DEADThe last time that you were stopped at a red light, what did you do?

I can tell stories of what so called wholesalers did to people that totally fubared them.. ( the owners) I still occasionally see con artist people still doing this rent-back scams with people in pre-foreclosure.

Real Estate is Cool again, like in the early to mid 2000's so everyone is trying to "get in" and everyone with no money is trying to wholesale, when they should get Licensed and sell houses, instead of trying to scam people out of their equity (Im talking about many, not all wholesalers) If you get licensed and do the marketing a wholesaler does, you can still flip the contract, or if the numbers dont work you can list the home and still get a commission, and along the way you will learn valuation, repair costs and watch deals through other investors (definitely work with investors)  on their dime, see what they do right, and wrong along the way, build  banking, title company, and other industry relationships.

However, the UI (User Interface) screams SPAMMY, GIMMICKY, SCAM, and possibly something you can catch viruses on!  

Just read a story on here on BP about a licensed agent with little experience, who wired their property funds out of the country to a scammer because they thought they were wiring it to the title company, something an experienced agent deals with all the time these scams as they are common.
