***SCAM ALERT!!! – Known as “vacant lot fraud” or “seller impersonation fraud,” bad actors impersonate the owners of a property or vacant lot and attempt to sell it for their own profit. Unsuspecting owners, eager buyers, and even licensed real estate, attorneys, and insurance professionals guiding the transactions can all unknowingly end up as victims in these elaborate identity theft schemes.

For more information, see the Real Estate Identity Theft and Deed Fraud section on the Scam Alert Information page or contact the Delaware Association of Realtors.***
