Just like in other areas, scams are also common in the real estate market, some common scams are related to unpermitted property, over valued property, property that has pending court cases,etc. Have you ever become a victim.

In some places like my country, someone would sell you a landed property that he himself is not the owner. As you start developing, the real owner now shows up.

Often married cheater couples are targeting single investors and professionals living alone for real estate fraud, and some married women falsely claim to own the property of single women.

Two common real estate scams i know of are
- phantom rentals: scammers advertising properties that do not exist
- bait and switch: scammers showing a different property from the one they advertiseed.

I became a real estate scam victim. I decided to visit the property, but the owner stopped responding as soon as she learned about my visit. Although she had answered my call earlier, it seemed like she was just playing games and had no real intention of renting out the place.

Have you paid any amount for that? Sorry for your experience and these sort of things are happening from a long time and we need to be careful and mindful about these

Real estate scams are very common. Most of the real estate scams usually involve documentation. Apart from that, many real estate agents can also misguide people to earn commissions and exploit the investor.

Scams are very prevalent in almost every corner of the web for sure l must say that.

I have not been a victim of a real estate scam. But, it's important to be vigilant and cautious in the real estate market to avoid falling prey to fraud schemes.

I must admit that real estate business is not regulated properly in many countries and my country is one of them. This is why real estate scams are very common in my country, unfortunately.

I believe that there should be authorities that can help to verify real estate properties before people get to buy.
