Dunedin man discovers his house stolen through deed fraud

😞😞😞

Only in Flurida

Mentally sick and perverted that counties, towns or cities wash their hands of being liable for this fraud. If it happened to me, it would be over my dead body before I left my house.

Not guilty???

So the town doesn't do its due diligence and allows fraudsters to submit bogus paperwork with signatures that aren't yours, yet it's YOUR job to clean up the mess? I'd be suing the town as well. It is INCREDIBLY simple to confirm this. You're submitting the paperwork? Great, we need you to show up in person with 2 forms of government ID., like your driver's license and passport. How hard is that?

Finger prints need to be required, and better protections. Lawmakers need to do something.

Government complicit in fraud & theft, zero due diligence - just pay your processing and document fees (tax) and that's that: Gov't enablers and accessory to felonious crime fraud and theft...Next!

I thought all real estate agents were always honest😂😂😂

Please stop stealing houses, get your own. Thank you

It’s impressive that he built his own house

Aren't computers great!!!!!!!! Computers can take away your job and anything you spent a lifetime working for and there are no laws in place or support that is going to help you. Government officials and the law blah blah blah blah blah. And it's only going to get worse now that AI is going to be rolled out soon as well as cbdc. Better get to Walmart to buy a tent before they're all sold out!!!

I had a local mechanic put a lien on my house

I placed my condo in to a land trust to prevent deed fraud. Contact real estate lawyer for more details.

Dayum how did dude become a realtor in the first place....smh!

This is why I won’t buy a piece of property without a real estate agent and an estate attorney!

The South is filled with decades and decades of these stories. One look at the degenerate who did this tells it all.

Neither the story nor anyone here commented…. would Title Insurance not protect the owner?

Horrible

I find it so weird that we need paperwork to validate something yet that paperwork is never checked for validity. Without the "proper" paperwork nothing official took place but invalid, fabricated paperwork makes things official?

Why is there any bureaucracy if it doesn't even accomplish anything with all the provisions it puts in place? You're asking for notarized documents to make something official and yet worthless notaries are allowing scammers to claim property they have no domain over.

A deed isn't owner ship, you're still paying! Land patents are. But the governmentis makes sure not to acknowledge those anymore.

With my hands

NOT GUILTY LOL

Fraud is fraud and can easily be proven so! If you have Title insurance you are fully protected.

the system is broke the system does not protect us

Good complete story details.

It is fraud and they CANNOT steal the home. Any "Sale" would be illegal and non binding.

I don't understand why a fraudulent document created by a criminal online has more authority than the legitimate owner who is physically living in the house and paying taxes.

The paperwork is for the bank in reality it’s only one or two pieces of paper

Just wait until there is a CBDC, then the government can and will steal everything

wake up folks,the employees in the recorders offices a lot of the time are running this scam. smh. if ur city has this happen more then once or twice in a short time u need to bet ur last dollar its from inside the office.

Most US counties are NOT interested in creating a real safety net for home owners, the "alert' many counties put in place is just a cheap band aid to make people believe "something" is being done to stop the thefts. The largest investment for most people should not be made available for free using all this online transfers, and electronic signature garbage. Should be mandated that deed transfers must be done in person, with witnesses, and original documents in hand in my opinion. The elderly are the prime victims for the Serpents that prowl this world to make a buck without work.

I can only imagine how the original land owners (Native Americans) felt many years ago. SMH

this is why people make fun of American city / government workers.... so incompetent

Good story, but using Zillow? They think the property underneath a junk house has real intrinsic value? 😂

He just happened to check Zillow to find out his house was sold. All this political corruption, economic fraud and crime we're becoming a third world country. WTF. Don't worry that guy who's convicted of this will be out in a few years and back doing the same thing. 👍

My daughter ,son in law found out Zillow tried to sell the house in Indiana to someo e in California She lost her bank acct. But finally kept home ..

What happens when someone has stolen your identity and has taken your entire digial life? With the help of someone they have taken everthing I have.

What is safe now days

Absolutely crazy.

If the states/counties allow deed fraud and filings online you should be allowed to sue the state/counties.

😮Absolutely disgusting

You built a house! Wow. I am very impressed! I can’t glue two matchsticks together…..lol. Great job!

Refile yourself. Then that they would stop probably.

I suspect brokers, lawyers are involved in this kind of fraud. Last year 2 of my properties in Lafayette, LA were listed for sale by some out of state crook. Had a LA fake Driver License with a blond white male, some incorrect info. Forged titles, fake notarized docs to his broker and lawyer. Buyer was my kids’s Orthodontist and knew the DL was fake for the photo… had the cashier’s check in hand. Filed police complaint but nothing was done. Froze credit. Filed affidavit with country stating none of properties are for sale. It is happening all over the Parish. It is simple to stop this crime by making lawyers, brokers liable… needing positive ID in person.

The county and law enforcement won't help me.

Get an attorney and have the fraudulent deed set aside in court by a judge. Fraudulent deeds are as old as legit deeds.

This is loony as fuck. In order to buy i had to give blood and semen samples

That's amazing that he built that house. Very cool guy.
