Same story...too good to be true; gotta love google!

Guess what?  This Jackson character and his "Buyer Partner:, Iwao, have trid me in Seattle too.

Same story: send him copies of listings and picks one out in minutes, and offers buyfull price-----well, youknow the rest  Jackson's checks are like a three dollar bill.  Beware!!

I am a Realtor, too, you've guessed.

Yup. This number was used in an attempt to buy $500k worth of real estate sight-unseen  in Metro-Detroit. Don't waste your time!

Thank you SO much for posting this!  So how did you find out that this deal was fraudulent.. did the check not clear?  I have a client right now in Kona, Hawaii, same situation with Mr. Green Sound as the stock broker, and a $150,000 check on a $550k house in cash - interestingly, he made it out to the wrong escrow company and had to be re-cut, but it's being sent now.. why would they tie up their money in escrow like that?  They sent more than was required on the contract, so I'm going to try and call the full amount forward and see what happens.. thanks again for posting!  Blessings from Hawaii anyway!  *:D
