Deed Fraud by Lynn Arseneau
roots literally pulled out from under them and are being left with no place to call home. They’re suffering deeply personal losses that have inflicted a significant financial and emotional toll, including shock, anger, and even embarrassment,” said Jodi Cohen, special agent in charge of the FBI Boston Division. “We are urging the public to heed this warning and to take proactive steps to avoid losing your property. Anyone who is a victim of this type of fraud should report it to us.” Law enforcement and the FBI have been alerted to the fraud at all points in the process and have received reports involving a variety of fraudulent scenarios, including: • Scammers who comb through public records to find vacant parcels of land and properties that don’t have a mortgage or other lien and then impersonate the landowner, asking a real estate agent to list the property. Homeowners whose properties have been listed for sale don’t know it until they’re alerted, sometimes after the sales have gone through. • Family members, often the elderly, targeted by their own relatives and close associates who convince them to transfer the property into their name for their

own financial gain. • Fraudsters known as “title pirates” who use fraudulent or forged deeds and other documents to convey title to a property. Often these scams go undetected until after the money has been wired to the scammer in the fraudulent sale and the sale has been recorded. HOW TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY • Continually monitor online property records and set up title alerts with the county clerk’s office (if possible). • Set up online search alerts for your property. • Drive by the property or have a management company periodically check it. • Ask your neighbors to notify you if they see anything suspicious. • Beware of anyone using encrypted applications to conduct real estate transactions. • Take action if you stop receiving your water or property tax bills, or if utility bills on vacant properties suddenly increase.

Dear readers, I recently had a call asking me about “deed fraud.” I decided that I would search for helpful information and share it with all of you. This is from the Boston Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and is warning property owners and real estate agents about a steady increase in reports of quit claim deed fraud it has received—scams that have resulted in devastating consequences for unsuspecting owners who had no idea their land was sold, or was in the process of being sold, right out from under them. Known as quit claim deed fraud or home title theft, the schemes involve fraudsters who forge documents to record a phony transfer of property ownership. Criminals can then sell either the vacant land or home, take out a mortgage on it, or even rent it out to make a profit, forcing the real owners to head to court to reclaim their property. Deed fraud often involves identity theft where criminals will use personal information gleaned from the internet or elsewhere to assume your identity or claim to represent you to steal your property. “Folks across the region are having their
I’ve been a Realtor for 38 years. People frequently ask for my advice and opinions, and by sharing those questions and answers with you, I hope to offer some helpful information.
