We have just tested the website I've been making to sell our home, by placing a preliminary advert on PEF and Vivastreet. He has now said that he wants to buy the house, send a 10 percent deposit into our bank account! I have not spoken with this man or his family, nor has he visited the house. The website is pretty comprehensive but a straight sale like this?
I would never have handed out any personal information. Sadly, far too old for that n onsense. My website does not feature my name, address or private email address. I created an email address to accept any house sale enquiries.
I will need - hopefully if it sells - a notaire and would expect him to arrange any payments. But I don't want to get into protracted correspondance with a scammer not waste money putting a notaire on the case for no good reason.
I know an immobilier would be simpler, but adding their fees to our required house price would, I fear price the house right out of the current market. The text that seems common to his emails is roughly this with names, addresses and numbers changed in each one. And this is another I have seen on the net - not a lot of difference is there? The deposit has to go into the Notaire's account - so totally safe Fleur, provided you follow the rules, maybe not so safe for a notaire.
But I am afraid it is a scam and whhen you tell your prospective buyer that he needs to contact your notaire you will never hear from him again. How Can You Tell? Genuine Buyers? Recommended Posts.
