House theft scam: How criminals target homeowners with fake deeds

[@penguinshoes6256]

4:45 How in the world is stealing someone's home not a crime? This is Ludacris! Future Ex-pat here!

Ludicrous*. Ludacris is a rapper, it's Ludaaaaaaaa

[@emjay2045]

It is a crime … they just don’t feel like putting effort into catching them

The hammer holes in the wall and destroying the apartment was the worst for me. Complete insult to injury. If I was local, I'd go help him fix the drywall up and restore it back. Thats just petty and sad, people need to work together to raise eachother up. Now its all leeches trying to climb over people to get ahead without putting an honest days work in

[@JoseCrespo-ex4rr]

If it can be stolen then you should be able to steal it right back with same ease.

I hope that when that criminal tried to file the deed on the house that was owned by the person working in the department, that she found a way to delay him and keep him waiting while somebody else called the police so he could get arrested right then and there! Because I'm sure it wasn't the first time he tried to do this, and he might even be part of a larger group that does this all the time.

probably was an inside job and she claimed that just to get eyes off her

[@TakenTook]

@@jazziez6467 -- Oh, hadn't thought of that. Which is even sadder. And all the more reason that I hope that person ends up in jail.

Sounds like his mother actually did sign a document giving away her rights to the home back in 2010, and he knew nothing about it. Not to mention one of the people involved in the scam was someone that he knew (or thought he knew). Wouldn't property tax records help in determining who the actual owner is?

[@DigitalIslandboy]

They do NOT that's why Norton is selling home insurance called LIFELOCK that if your house is taken this way they'll give you up to a couple million to try to get your house back.

[@emjay2045]

Well, they stole the house from you… how do you “steal” it back? I’m asking for a friend !

[@christinavelazquez8931]

Dirty deeds done cheap! 😅❤

[@PaulHenreid]

The real problem is when law enforcement does nothing.

[@DigitalIslandboy]

Blame the government. The city should have to send something to the house that the house is being changed ownership.

[@YounglanYu]

Can we talk about what can we do to reclaim. We need to find the solution for home owners.
