But these people have taken their scam a step further. They have left telephone numbers and websites that back their emails. One really thinks they are bonafied.. They say they are from Dubai and that they are with a company called Akarproperties.com. Here is some wording from their e-mails: The Initial e-mail.... Hello, Its my pleasure, am writing from Akar Properties LLC, we are interested in your property, and we will like to know more about opportunities to invest through you, or a possibility of a partnership... both long term and short term. I will be waiting to read from you as soon as possible.

I will like you to forward available pictures of the property. Also please let me know your final price for this property. Please advice on how you will like to receive payment as I will like to proceed with payment immediately. Please let me know if you have an Equity Line of Credit Account so that I will prepare on how to forward the said funds to you. I will await your response to proceed with purchase. Regards, ..... Would sure be nice if this was a true purchaser. But there are so many things that tell me it's not!! 1. They want to purchase the property unseen 2 They want to put their money in a Equity Line of Credit bank account. ( LIke most of the letters above had this element in them.) 3.They didn't address the issues that we talked about in our letter to them. 4. They are asking me to send pictures when we have a full slide show that they supposeidly viewed. Anyone else gotten a letter from Akarproperties.com?? It seems like there is a new scam going around.
