The Real Estate Fraud
Unit investigates and prosecutes crimes involving recorded
real estate documents. Criminal real estate fraud may involve
home equity fraud, securities fraud tied to real estate, and
loan fraud. Victims of criminal real estate fraud and predatory
lending schemes are often senior citizens and people with
limited English speaking abilities. Real estate fraud strikes
at the heart of the American dream, where a sophisticated
criminal can victimize dozens of people by stealing their
life savings and their home.
Persons who believe
they may be victims of real estate fraud are encouraged to
fill out and return a Real Estate Fraud Complaint Form for
our review. (The form is available below.)
