How Scammers Use Loophole for Real Estate Fraud

The alleged scammer behind the shocking attempt to snatch Graceland from the family of Elvis Presley is coming out of the woodwork. An email they sent to Inside Edition declares, in part: "We've stolen millions from you blind fool Americans. We sit back and laugh at you idiots." Just last week, Elvis' granddaughter, Riley Keough, foiled the attempt to steal the storied property. Now we're learning that other brazen efforts have been made to steal iconic buildings from their owners.

I work for a large mortgage company and this is definitely happening. The laws have to change because its just that simple to go down and change the paperwork. I had to explain to a guy why he was receiving foreclosure notices. His home was paid off. But the ex wife took out a 2nd mortgage without his knowledge with forged documents. She had already been paid during the divorce settlement. She made sure all the documents were delivered online with an account that she registered. He had no idea. They'd been divorced for years with no minor children. The foreclosure proceedings had already started. He was so hurt and I felt bad for him. All he could do is contact his divorce attorney and bring her up on charges. She never made one payment.

@justyouraverageintrovert8487 Ай бұрын

Wouldn’t that leave the mortgage company having to take the ex wife to court and the homeowner’s 2nd mortgage against him be dropped since it wasn’t him? Seems like this would be only between the mortgage company and the ex since she’s the one that committed the crime.

@user-dw1ls3rp1l Ай бұрын

It is. This is why we have title companies. Sooner or later the scammer will need to realize financial gains from the scam and sell. This will require a quitclaim deed from the actual owner, which obviously must be forged. Closings require a seller and buyer to be physically present, at which time arrest is almost certain. Forging a financial instrument is a big boy charge.

Both thieves from the vid don't look like they have a sizeable balance in their bank account, let alone own multi-million dollar properties. Ridiculous!

A redhead dude was hypnotizing people to do the most outrageous things. Got soldiers to stand at attention and fall face first down metal bleachers. One soldier broke his nose doing this. All I would see and others would be the redhead leaning in and his mouth would move and then boom. The person he just whispered to is now doing insane things. I remember as a kid seeing Xfiles episode. I was watching it happen. Maybe this guy has this ability.
