I just saw on our news where property in Raleigh was listed for sale on Zillow, the scammer had stolen the actual property owner's identity, faked his DL the listing looked totally legit, and the scammer was SO close to taking one of the multiple offers that were made on the property. Another real estate agent got in on it b/c she had some clients who wanted to buy it as well. Meanwhile the owner of the property FOUND it listed on Zillow! He contacted the sheriff's office, and Zilliw, got the listing taken off Zillow and the sheriff told him to contact the FBI. Come to find out, the scammer is somewhere in Africa..
They didn't succeed with this scam, but they were VERY close to pulling it off. Had the property owner not happened to see his property listed, it would probably have been a done deal.
