According to the FBI, there are ample opportunities for scam artists to commit property and mortgage fraud. Perpetrators target victims from across a demographic range, with perpetrators identifying common characteristics such as ethnicity, nationality, age, and socioeconomic variables, to include occupation, education, and income. Unfortunately, these scammers can attempt to file documents in the Register of Deeds that make it appear as if they own or even placed a lien on your property.
