They are definately a scam.I have gotten several.Don't respond.If you receive an offer via email from someone claiming to need your help getting money out of Nigeria — or any other country, for that matter — forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov.

Most investors don't have a problem spending, at most, $30 to $50 a month (until cancelled) to get a list of properties where every single one of those properties can be purchased for tens of thousands of dollars less than other houses on the market. By the way, what do you consider 'useless'? If you are unable to purchase the property that you want, it's not the fault of the person who sold you the list. But, if they flat out scam you by providing you with a bogus list, you can always take it up with your credit card company or law enforcement. I suggest that if that amount of money is a problem for you, avoid auctions. Good luck!\n\nSomeone mentioned sites that list foreclosed properties. We are one of them, although we typically charge for those lists because we verify everything ourselves.

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.  Looks like they charge you a "registration" fee, then never get back to you.

welcome to the internet.  we don't have to be next door to repond to an add.  I am writing this from West Africa, have a Va address and a US phone number.  Don't assume it's a scam.  I conduct business from 4000 miles away on a daily basis.

More than spam...the link takes you to Nigeria where you are asked for personal financial details. I also get really genuine looking emails from my UK bank asking me to confirm account details...again, avoid these at all costs. The old saying is that if it looks to good to be true, it probably isn't true.

Scam scam scam...\n\nLocal Woman Victim Of Internet Scam\n\nBy Fawn Roark \n\n\nA local woman became a victim of fraud after she met an individual over the internet and he sent her these checks to cash, but the checks were counterfeit.\nPhoto by Fawn Roark \n \n\nA scam has found another victim in Ashe County and this one was conducted through the internet and a local woman lost over $18,000, believing she was helping her internet boyfriend cash checks that appeared legitimate.\n\nAccording to Detective William Sands of the Ashe County Sheriff’s Office, a woman met an individual through the internet and she and he began corresponding. The woman fell in love with the man over time and he had told her he was in the construction business. The man told the woman that it was hard for him to cash large checks in Nigeria, where he was from and he sent her two checks that she promised to help him cash so he could pay his employees.\n\nThe first check was in the amount of $10,249 and was written on a bank in Canada while the second check was for $4,800 and was written on a bank in Florida. She deposited the checks into her account and wired him the cash via Western Union as he had asked. When the woman deposited the checks into the bank, it was determined that the checks were counterfeit. \n\nThen a new twist was involved that Sands said even the FBI was not familiar with prior to this incident. An individual contacted the fraud victim via the internet and told her that they were an FBI agent from Texas and was stationed in Nigeria and was investigating scams. \n\nThe individual told the woman that he knew she was involved in the crime and instructed her to send $3,200 to the agent to help with various costs in the investigation and she would not be charged in the crime. He told her that if he did not receive the money, he said he would send cops to her door here and they needed the money immediately. The victim was scared so she sent the money. After the money was wired, there was no more correspondence from the individual who told the woman he was a FBI agent.\n\n“I spoke with a FBI agent in Hickory and he had heard all of it, but the part about the FBI. This is a little different twist and it’s something the FBI has not even seen. He also mentioned to me that Ashe and Watauga Counties seem to be hit more than other counties in the area and we’re not sure why unless it is that people are so trusting up here,” Sands explained. \n\nSands said that when money is wired or sent overseas, there is not much that law enforcement officers can do to recover it or investigate the crimes. Sands said the victim in this case was very trusting and just wanted to help others, but there is not really anything that can be done to recover the funds. The bank has been reimbursed by the victim’s family, who had to take out a loan to make the payment.\n\nSome tips provided by Sands to help avoid scams included: \n\n· If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is\n\n· Never pay money to win money\n\n· When items are sold on Ebay, sellers should wait until checks clear the bank before any items are shipped, even if it is a cashier’s check.\n\n· Beware of any buyers on Ebay who want money sent to them as change\n\nFor more information, to report a scam or to ask Sands to make a presentation on scams to a local club or organization, call the Ashe County Sheriff’s Office at 336-219-2600.

It's a typical scam.. Good thing you checked it out first before you went nuts and lost your money.  Face it, NO ONE is going to just up and send you a check in the mail for no reason.  This is scam city big time.

I am not sure if it is a fishing page, but the name should give a clue to anyone that it is not legit.  If it were free lotto, then why would you have to pay to play? I tend to stay away from too good to be true web pages, just like the mail we used to get, if it is too good to be true, then it probably is.

Often, there are no "true" website that dedicate to that.\n\nThey are companies who go to Foreclosure, government auctions and list the houses they have, and attempt to make some money by offering you the house cheap. Example: They tell you this house is available, you can buy it for $100,000, when in reality they buy it at 95,000 (or whatever) and resell it to you. Pay close atention to fine prints and information about the "provider."\n\nYour best bet is to go to a live-local auction. I don't know where you live, but I'm pretty sure you can find it a bit. Someone in your town has got to know.

It is indeed a scam. If everyone would do everything you can (file complaints at bbb.org, usps.com, consumer affairs, etc) I bet this place would be shut down.

I don't know either, but I sent an e-mail to membersupport@mongle.com and the e-mail was returned to me.  What a jip, I had been with them for years and finally saved enough equity points with them to start looking for a house!  I think they went out of business, but how horrible as they didn't even let their members know.  I hadn't checked my account in a while and went to check it today and the website was gone.

I get about 500 spam e-mails a day telling me to buy USMY, whatever that is -- I'm pretty sure that this spam is part of some illegal and not too subtle pump-and-dump scam.\n\nMy advice is stay away from USMY.\n\nI would advise buying GM. One of the most sound and under valued stocks around.
