The New Hotness

  • Encounter With A Cash-for-House Scammer

    This conversation started during the few hours when I had to turn off my phone’s incoming-call whitelist filter:

    Cash Home Sale SMS

    Seems to me a cash-for-house buyer who believes anything the seller says about the property is both new to the “real estate” biz and not destined for a long career. Obviously, the whole exchange attempts to increase my engagement and make me agree with everything going on.

    Now, should you happen to be moving to the Mid-Hudson Valley and need a really nice shop with an attached house, let me know: we can work out a better deal.

    Protip: if you’re in a position to stack seven thousand Benjamins on our kitchen table, don’t get between us and and the horizon.

    There is a reason all my calls and texts go through a whitelist filter.
