A REALTOR® reported that one of her female agents had received a suspicious call from a Dwayne Bergman who said he was looking to purchase a home in the area. The guy came off as a little weird and the agent felt uneasy about the conversation, so she did some searching on Facebook and found a warning from an agent in Indiana that this guy calls real estate companies targeting female agents. He calls from an Oregon number (505) 509-7236. Just want to alert agents about this guy.

Greg Swearingen, Coldwell Banker King Thompson, reported that on 11/27/2017, he received a scam e-mail from a James Gail claiming to be interested in purchasing a new home for the new year in the price range of 1.4 million dollars for his newly extended family (he was taking in his sister’s kids after her passing). He also claimed to have been pre-approved by the bank and could forward the pre-approval letter if needed. Greg replied to Mr. Gail’s e-mail requesting a PDF file of his pre-approval letter and a telephone number where he could be reached. Greg didn’t get a response back until 12/1/2017, and instead of getting the requested information, he was sent a link to LiveHDTV.org, which appeared to be a legitimate website. Greg completed two scam checks on the link and found that it contains harmful content, including pages that try to trick visitors into sharing personal information or downloading software. The second check, showed that LiveHDTV.org was recently created (9/26/17), Super Man was the contact name and the contact e-mail was an odd g-mail account. Another reminder to be cautious of potential e-mail scams.

Collective Home Realty reported that they have been receiving strange calls from a gentleman who has contacted them several times using different names but telling the same story about wanting to sell his home that’s located on the south side of Columbus. He tweaks the story a bit, but the gist is that he’s recently purchased a new furnace for the home that he wants to sell. He still owes on the furnace and wants to know if he should pay it off before selling the home or if he can sell the home without paying off the furnace. He also mentions owning other properties and wants to know if he can sell his south side home with the other properties he owns and if he can get paid if he finds the buyer. He also has a lease-to-own property. This guy calls from the same telephone number using different first names, i.e., Robert Kirk and Anthony Thomas. He has asked that an agent call him back but follow-up calls goes to VM. Collective Home Realty is not sure if this person is just looking to waste someone’s time or if he could potentially be dangerous. But, thought other agents should be made aware of this individual.
