Re: Sandra-I have a Referral-CALL ME
Robert (Your Friendly Realtor) [MoneyTree@xmr3.com]
Dear Sandra,
I was referred to you as an active real estate agent working with buyers and sellers.
We have a few buyer applications in Guilford, CT 6437 that have been pre approved for a loan. These applicants are looking to buy a house within the next 0-180 days and have been verified. They need a real estate agent to find them a property!
Can you call me at (818) 444-7295 Ext. 8028 to give you more information about these applications?
Thank you,
Robert Beck
Sales Manager, Money Tree

What I love about this one is Robert identifies himself as “ Your Friendly Realtor” in his address but in his signature line he signs as a sales manager. You’re a Realtor, Robert, highly doubt it. He was referred to me? Nice try, don’t think so. I have heard Money Tree Funding. They sell leads. Kinda, sorta if your lucky.
Oh, google is a wonderful thing. You can read all sorts of interesting things about Money Tree Funding on Google and Mr. Beck is mentioned by name. Oh my. Not interested, but thanks for trying.
I wonder how many Realtors fall for this and think it is a real referral and make the call.
I don’t buy leads, but for any one else who is thinking about it, a word to the wise. Do your homework. There are too many scammers out there just waiting to take your hard earned money.
I really like how he included my number at the bottom of the email. I guess it’s in case I forget my phone number.
