In a word ... NO..... nothing but read some emails and make a couple of phone calls. No WORK PRODUCT at all.

I have since talked to a friend of a friend who had about the same thing happen to him - EXCEPT he got hit for less $$$. He did nothing for him either ... but feels that because I am 1500 miles away - that this scammer felt he could get away with it.

Then at the end he attempts to attach a bill onto the closing amount - it is flatly rejected- so the next day he goes to the county and files an official lien.

I’m actually GLAD he did that because filing a fraudulent property lien is a felony AND grand theft.
