Scam or what? Help me!

Hey you all, I’m looking for some more advice. I found a property on Craigslist advertising a home for sale. Initially I thought the the individual was another Wholesaler, but he claims to have purchased the property after it was foreclosed. I had a friend attempt to run some comps from the mls and he said it seemed pretty sketchy, especially considering the supposed owner of the house isn’t the one listed as the owner. Is there anyway the owner hasn’t been updated or should I just leave this guy alone? Hopefully I was clear with what I’m asking. Thanks!

Careful questioning can flush out a scam. if you decide to purchase, put any up front money liek an Earnest Money Depost with the title company. The title company will make sure the deal is legit.
