Summary by Abc 27
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) -- It's called home title fraud or deed fraud. A scammer will target homes that no longer have a mortgage or have accumulated substantial equity. They can get your personal information from the internet and then file the necessary paperwork to transfer ownership of your property to themselves, using forged signatures and fake identification. They then sell the home or borrow against the equity.
