My wife and I were looking at some property in AK, the correspondence started out as email. Then we realized that it was a very well known scam. I got so frustrated with the whole thing that I called a separate phone number listed on the website. Then I got a text from this number. Definitely fishing for information. I led him on about buying the house and he kept asking for my email. Ultimately I created a very funny email and my own diatribe to him. I have not heard a peep since. Doing a little digging it looks like they use unsuspecting peoples emails to propagate the scam. But the dummy used his personal phone to text me. Anyway SCAM! Based on what I have read above it looks like he has changed his approach and tactics to get information.
