Lets hear about how scammers are working the real estate game these days. Please share if you know of a way people have been scammed recently. It would be beneficial to me to know what to watch out for. I don't have a scammer mindset so it's hard for me to anticipate where a scammer might be lurking in REI. Thanks!!
