Possible fraud on immowelt - Bregenz & Lustenau & Lochau

Hi all,

I have found the following 3 items:
http://www.immowelt.de/immobilien/immod ... 8693&bc=13
http://www.immowelt.de/immobilien/immod ... d=36130503
http://www.immowelt.de/immobilien/immod ... bc=12%7c13

I think they are scam because of the low price and the fact that you can contact the so called owner only through a form.

I had a similar encounter last week. Almost felt for it.

If anyone can, please confirm.

Hope nobody gets scammed

The third one is a definite scam - the description is copied from here http://www.laendleimmo.at/immobilien/wo ... genz/71820.

Searches for key phrases on the other 2 show hits in Google on an Austrian site, but they've been removed.
