Crime Alert: CyberScam continues to spread across the country The agent receives an e-mail from a “buyer” purporting to have property under contract and wants the agent to facilitate the closing – often a cash deal or large earnest money deposit from an “out of town” buyer. When the agent agrees, the fraudulent buyer sends funds in the form of a wire or check along with purchase and sale agreement. The agent might even know or confirm that the property really is listed for sale – and it is. The amount for the contract even looks right given the list price/value. After a few days, the buyer says the deal fell through and asks for the money back saying, “a wire would be best.” The check or wire has either not cleared yet, or even if it has, it is still within the period for which payment can be stopped or reversed. Either way, the agent ends up having paid out good funds, but has no good funds paid in. Below are suggestions from First American Title on how to protect yourself from Cyberscams:

Crime Alert: Fraudulent buyer back to wasting agents’ time David Scott Gale who walked away from at least 4 contracts on million-dollar plus homes a few years ago is back at it again and using the same MO, where he makes a cash offer on a million-dollar listing and claims to want to close in 30 days. He never does any due diligence (negotiate in good faith, provide proof of funds or produces an earnest money deposit). We’ve been told that he is charming, tells lots of stories; many of which have been found to be lies. He has a rap sheet, is a registered sex offender and also has a securities violation. He hasn’t threatened any of the agents he’s been in contact with, but he does waste a lot of their time and no one knows what he’s up to. In the past, he’s looked at properties primarily in Southern Delaware County, but has also contacted agents about properties in Bexley and downtown Columbus. Just want to remind agents about this fraudulent buyer and his MO.
