If you get a letter and or a call from this company, I would watch yourself.  They'll send you a letter making you think that they are wanting your property because they are from "outside" the area.  Truth be told, they live in the same town but are looking to buy property very cheap but make it sound like THEY are doing you a favor.  They're not.  A scam it all that it is looking to make good money off of people who fall on hard times.  They are NOT who they present themselves to be.
