Hi!
I am selling a property in the internet and I was contacted by Mr. Carlos Montes, who was interested in buying the property.
I became suspicious when Mr. Carlos Montes readily answered affirmatively when I asked for the price of 40 000 euros. I thought: who buys a property without seeing it...?
Even more suspicious, Mr. Carlos Montes told me the price was to be paid by a deposit of 10 000 euros, and the rest of the amount will be paid by his agent...
So I searched in the Internet and luckily found this forum.
I am now aware of the situation, but I still answered to the last e-mail Mr. Carlos Montes sent.
I will reproduce our correspondence, so you can read it and give me your opinion. We should get together and put these people into jail!
Best regards, Elsy

Mr. Carlos Montes,
I agree to your conditions, just let me know how do you intend to make the deposit of the money, and how can we sign the necessary legal documents.
Best regards,
