Jpack, that takes the cake. This guy seems to have his ducks in a row. Telling you to start an LLC? That's crazy. I'm finding all this very interesting as long as nobody looses any money.

Below is the latest email I received from this guy. Anyone else gotten this far?  I know i should just tell the guy to take a hike, but just interested in seeing how he is playing the game. 


I thank you immensely for your well analyitcal mail. It has further reposed more confidence in me that I am dealing with a competent and knowledgeable person who has the capability to actualise my investment dream. I want to let you know that I do not know much about property investment but was adviced to invest in it because it is lucrative. I want to depend on you on the types of properties to purchase. I want you to take charge of the investment while I join after my retirement. I want to have it as a quite investment under your own business name until I retire. I have designed a profit sharing ratio of 65% for me and 35% for you. What do you say about this? I have started working on how best to transfer the money because I wouldn't want a bank to bank transfer to avoid any trace that I am investing abroad. I know what you mean about the process of transfering money to US but I am working closely to finding the best means of doing that. A friend and colleague of mine has transfered more than $20m to USA for investment and he has promised to give me the two options which any of them can be used in transfering the money successfully.
 
Also, I suggest you set up LLC just for the investment. This will assist us to manage the incoming and outgoing funds.
 
Please let me have a business plan on how you can invest my present investment budget which is $15m and our partnership contract/agreement to sign. I am using a UK email address because I worked last in UK before I was posted back to our head office in Russia.
 
Finally, I am ready to run a deal with you on D2 and M100. If you have buyers I can arrange for a direct from refinery deals.
 
Thanks and wish to have a good business relationship with you,

Happened to me today. Same email as stated in the question above. I'm in OK. seems he's hitting the midwest. My house has only been on the market a few weeks and ONLY on Zillow right now. Anyone beside Vlady want to buy my house??? Here's the last corapondance Vlady sent me:

Hello Jim,
Nice to read from you again. I will like to close on your property as soon as possible but will need to partner with you if that should be possible because I cannot travel at this time and I do not have anybody in USA. It is not my intention to pay for one property instead I will like you to assist me collate other properties so that I can send the total money at once. I really want to utilize the fall in US properties and purchase a lot of them. Partnering with you does not mean you will contribute funds. I will provide the funds while you search for the properties, pay for them, rent them out or re-sale after some time. In fact you are going to manage the property investment while you send monthly report to me. I will join you fully after my retirement. This is my investment dream because USA is a nice place to retire to. I need someone who is on ground to take charge of the investment because I do not want to be associated with the investment until after my retirement.
I want to know more about your person and you can equally read more about me on: (he had links to the real Vlad but zillow won't let me post them here.)
 
Thanks,
Vladimir.

I am so glad that people are still posting and no falling for the scam. Please post this scammers email address if it changes too. That is one of the best ways for people to find it on a google search and avoid the scam.

I hope you consider sending Zillow the original email using the instructions on this thread here. This scammer has done this before on Zillow and the original email is needed to trace the scam from what I read.

I believe that it may be a scam. Check out this thread here. You are wise to be wary. Legitimate folks will have the ring of truth so trust your gut. Please report any other scams or new email addresses being used here on the board so others can protect themselves. It helps people find the thread as the scammer change email addresses/names.

Zillow has a new page here that helps sellers learn what to look for so they can avoid being scammed. They have been actively following up on these bogus emails. Zillow has more information including instructions on how to send the original scam email to them here. You can also contact the FTC directly here. Hope it helps.
