I don't know why someone would want to buy a property at above market
value without viewing it; even if he has to travel a long way and
wants to eliminate pointless viewings it sounds unnecessary.

Well, it's a common scam with other goods


I just typed "above market value scam" into google and it came up with
plenty of hits

I just tried this and the only hit which had anything to do with property
scams was this thread.

It certainly doesn't seem to be an obvious or well known 'get rich quick'
scam.
