Be warned

Was he from Switzerland by any chance? Only asking because we had a chap from Switzerland offer us more than we would dream of asking, but he was rambling on about a whole pile of nonsense so I cut him short by telling him if he wants to buy our place, he should go and draw the money out of the bank and then go to the land office with us. Of course that's the last we heard from him.
Strangely enough, when we bought our place, that's exactly what we did........drew the money out the bank, went to the land office, did the transfer, and then handed over the cash. We bought from a Thai women, and I've never seen anyone as nervous as she was once we gave her all the money......lol.
