Nervous about possible scam
I often behave like Chicken Little, you know, ??the sky is falling.? Or as one of your signature lines says, ??just because I am paranoid, it does not mean they are not still out to get me.?
Or, this may be a totally legitimate situation. The new potential client may just be very busy. I don??t know?
I got an email on Friday from a potential new client from Iowa, who wanted an ALTA update on a 2007 survey. They had the pdf of the correct job. They also shared with me the correct title work as soon as I requested it.
She signed my contract on Sunday, and said she wanted to wire me the retainer fee. I emailed her my routing and checking account numbers on Monday.
Radio silence since then. I have emailed as recently as Wednesday (yesterday) morning. No word.
I have been watching that checking account closely. No strange activity. Glad I have multiple accounts (buckets) and keep the balance in that account relatively low.
