SEVERAL WEEKS AGO I RECV'D AN EMAIL FROM ERCI BLOND, WANTING TO PURCHASE OUR HOME THAT HE SAW ON A FOR SALE BY OWNER SIGHT. HE STATED THAT HE WAS RETIRED AND HIS "BOSS' WAS GOING TO PURCHASE HIM A HOUSE. AFTER SEVERAL EMAILS BACK AND FORTH HE FINALLY GAVE ME HIS BOSS'S NAME "ERIC ROLAND" AND THE ABOVE NUMBER TO CONTACT HIM. HE ALSO ALSO GAVE ME AN EMAIL ADDRESS OF [email protected]. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, MR."ROLAND" CALLED ME TO GET THE INFORMATION TO SEND THE CHECK. AFTER I INFORMED HIM THAT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO RECEIVE THE PAYMENT FOR MY HOME, AND HOLD IT UNTIL jUNE. BUT THAT I HAD SPOKEN WITH MY ATTORNEY AND THAT WE WOULD MAKE SURE THE FUNDS CLEARED HIS ACCOUNT, BEFORE ANYTHING WAS SIGNED.HE STATED THAT HE WOULD CALL ME BACK..NEVER HEARD FROM HIM. SO I CALLED HIM BACK AND WHEN HE ANSWERED, HE WAS AT HIS HOME AND HAD TO TURN DOWN TH TV. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS RETURNING HIS CALL AND WHEN I MENTITONED ERIC BLONDS NAME, HE SAID "WHO IS ERIC BLOND". THEN i STID THAT HE WAS "YOUR: PERSON YOU ARE PURCHASING A HOME FOR...NEEDLESS TO SAY..I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SCAM. PEOPLE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL, AND CALL THEIR LOCAL FBI OFFICE IF THEY GET ON OF THESE EMAILS AND CALL...I CALLED THE FBI
