PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned.

I can see how a fraud could be perpetrated pretty easily:
You put your house up for sale. People view and the EA says to people looking to offer, "I think he'd take quite an agressive offer so viewers start offering 15 or 20% below asking."
The psychology of some people is such that they'll get easily discouraged and take a low offer. When the seller calls the EA to say they've accepted an offer 15% below asking, the EA can say "I have just got an offer 10% below asking."
I guess there are loads of variations on this theme.0 -
