On the Trulia rentals there are a lot of Nigerians doing this I experienced this where the family is going aboard to college and thy needed to rent the property look out they will send you a fake application and later ask for your bank information.

I think you may need pro to advertise on market place.. and I have sold a few of my OREO on market place and know others that use it to create a lot of traffic.as for lenders this is an issue nationwide.. its now the province of the new Nigerian prince schemes.. not a week goes by and I get a  PM   hey I see your looking for a loan I can do that.. 

It’s the Nigerian Prince of STRs.

again this is the new Nigerian prince scam that has come to real estate lending.Watch the American Greed episode on Remington financial and google Ingrid Robinson.. 

Note, call the title co. to Verbally verify wire instructions.....a lot of scams going on with hacking agent/title co emails where the scammer sends you wire instructions, looking like it’s from the agent/title co, to their Russian/Nigerian/you name it bank accounts.

I don't know why but I have a feeling it has something to do with a Nigerian Prince....

But, I also am not sure nothing was done either.On the other hand..... should I have not send the $1,000 to your Nigerian banker?

The first level is the one where information was given by someone about a person who may have been engaging in a terrorist act but that info could not be corroborated (This Nigerian kid was on it) the next level is where information is corroborated and then the that person gets elevated to "no fly" status.

Sounds like one of those nigerian scams going around.

Seems like a classic Nigerian fraud.I guess someone who wires money based on such an email probably deserves to lose it.
