Multiple real estate agents in Las Vegas are being targeted by a man who they say pretends to be a wealthy homebuyer but then backs out of deals, leaving everyone scratching their heads as to who he is and what his motives are.
Within the past month and a half, roughly 10 agents say they’ve dealt with a man posing to be part of a wealthy and well-known family in the area. None of them could verify if he was truly part of the family or not, but all of them said he wasted their time.
“We pushed for the proof of funds, many, many times and didn’t get it, and by that time, we already had a signed offer, so we had to move. We had to act,” Dugan said. “And when we acted, they never asked for it [on] the listing side. They must’ve seen the name because they never even asked us any questions. They just said, ‘Yeah the seller accepts.’”
“You have to be very careful with identify theft and things like that, but never somebody having me do so much work, being so persistent, and lying with so many details all to – still to this day – not know what the end game was,” Croysdill said.
