Moving to Anchorage soon and thought the house was too good to be true. After a couple emails he wanted me to wire transfer him the $700 deposit to Amarillo, TX. It's a shame, the worse kind of person. So glad I knew something was up, mainly because the emails were so general and he wouldn't answer my questions directly. I'm angry and hope no one else gets scammed by him.
Well it looks like he's at it again. I thought it sounded reasonable and that the price was close to what I expected. Once again though it was a house that was for sale and he used the excuse that they didn't want the house sitting empty. This house was also listed on Hotpads he was using the last name Gardener. He was suppose to be in Dallas and when he called me I knew it wasn't a Texas area code so I did a google search and found this site. Beware!
