Scammers and fraudsters are using all means now to steal from people and the real estate industry isn't an exception. They are fake real estate agents posing as genuine ones looking for any naive person to defraud so everyone need to be careful
When you are looking out to get any property, try not to do the following to avoid being defrauded
Don't pay for a property you are yet to view no matter the excuse that will be tendered by the agents. You shouldn't be in a rush to part with your money on a property you are yet to be seen. Don't buy into the idea of just seeing the property on their phone or a photo book. Make a physical inspection
Don't fall a victim to a low price. Yes you might be right it might just be too good to be true.
Get a knowledgeable person to access the documents of the property you are paying for. Make payments only when you have ascertained that the documents are real
Don't be quick to make payments no matter the pressure mounted on you to secure the property as early as possible. It is a tactic employed by frsudsters to avoid people from finding out on time about their dubious activities so hold on a bit and make your investigation before going ahead.
