Fake Seller/Fake Buyer Scam Alert – Sale of Vacant Lots
The South Carolina Real Estate Commission has made us aware of a rise in fraudulent sales and mortgages, most commonly associated with vacant lots.
The scam targets unencumbered, vacant lots owned by persons out of state.
If you know of someone who has been a victim of an attempt to sell their property without their consent, please contact the FBI to report the fraudulent activities and get assistance in stopping the perpetrator.
More information regarding contacting the FBI can be found at the following link: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/safety-resources/scams-and-safety.
