Attention residents: Real estate scam alert

Dear Fellow Terrace Residents:

Association President Claire Steiner has asked me to send out a warning to all residents that a real estate scam appears to be under way concerning No. 2 Hyland Circle.

Our neighbor Nadeen Thompson has her house for sale with a real estate firm, but apparently someone has used that knowledge to create a phony craiglist ad offering the property, which it says is "unoccupied," for sale or rent and is asking for money upfront. The ad and e-mails stemming from whoever posted it invite people to check out the property.

Nadeen has told Claire that her house remains for sale, but that any sort of craigslist or e-mail involving it are bogus. Claire has reported the situation to the Troy Police Department because we have several properties on the Terrace for sale that may become targets for burglars.

If you become aware of any suspicious activity -- unknown vehicular or foot traffic, e-mailings or phone calls pertaining to Nadeen's house, etc. -- please let her or Claire know.

Thank you.

Bill Dowd
Webmaster
