For sale scam enquiry

Post by pepsipuss »

Not sure about this. We have our rental property for sale on EyeonSpain. Actually it has been there for several years but at a ridiculous price which I was about to reduce to see if we could get any proper interest.

However before I got round to that I get an enquiry from AK

dear mr miss.

I have interst in your property.

can you send me please some futher info and details about the property.

Please confirm a.s.a.p

Regards,

Now I might have been jumping up and down but given that the price asked on our ad reflects a price going back ten years to the peak of the market, do I need to be suspicious?

Oh yes you need to be totally suspicious, but where's the harm in replying and seeing where it takes you?

I replied directing him to my rental website for more details about the house.

So far no come-back!
