It appears to be a scam.

Good Day, Am William, i would like to know if you do Home inspection service and do you accept credit card for the payment ?

I just bought a new home in the city and i would like you to do the job on home inspection service and i would like you handle the job for me because am presently in the hospital due to my diagnosis of Bladder Cancer and am still in the Private medical center and i would like you to do a perfect work for me

I advised him if this was not real I would post it to the forum to warn other inspectors.

All the best,
Allan

Old news…but thanks anyway
Cheers

Yea, this scam (or similar) has been going on for years. But I know there are always new inspectors coming on board so it is good that it is brought up every so often.
