Land Fraud

Land fraud refers to illegal activities involving the sale, ownership, or transfer of land. This can include forging documents, misrepresenting property boundaries, or selling land that the seller does not own. Victims often buy property that is not legally theirs, leading to financial loss and disputes. Land fraud can occur through scams promoted by individuals or organized groups, exploiting loopholes or lack of oversight in real estate transactions. Preventing land fraud typically involves careful verification of property titles and thorough due diligence before completing a real estate deal.
