Dear  , 
 
Welcome to DeltaNewsViews! 
 
From John Bedford, Executive Officer
YOU BETTER WATCH OUT!
We have received calls from our members complaining about a woman portraying to be a legitimate buyer who has a qualifying letter from Bank of American showing a substantial amount of money in an account. (Over $5 Million). 

This person's first name is Sandra.  According to one agent, Sandra has submitted offers on many properties with many different agents in the area.  Deposit checks written over her signature have not been negotiable, usually written on a closed account.

The Bank of American wire transfer notification used by the buyer contains many spelling and grammatical errors and worse yet, the funds quoted do not exist, according to Delta members who have called to confirm their validity.

One member has stated that she feels the "buyer" is herself the victim of a scam similar to the Nigerian classic. The member believes that Sandra is convinced that she has the funds in the bank to purchase property, when in fact there are NO SUCH FUNDS. This may explain why one agent has put five properties into escrow with Sandra but none have closed.

Call us for additional info.
