Man convicted of crimes involving REALTORS® released from prison Robert E. Willett was charged and convicted of abduction in 2013 and was scheduled to be released on June 11, 2016. Robert E. Willett has used at least 2 aliases, Bill Parks, and Tim Ramsey when setting up meetings with various real estate agents for house showings in northern Ohio. He has been known to be at open houses as well, illegibly signing the guest book, and typically staying to the end, being the last to leave. Even though this happened in another part of the state, we thought you should be aware of this man. Extreme caution should be taken when scheduling appointments with unknown clients and open house showings. News story Akron/Cleveland AOR notice

Once you click on the link in the e-mail, it will take you to another online service (i.e. google docs, etc.) that requests your login/password which the hacker will then use to gain access to your personal information.
