Legal Thriller-Type Scam:: Blend of Identity Theft and Home Theft

--New Con Game can Rob You of your Home--Right out from Under

If you only wish to fill out your life by going to funerals and playing Bridge, then die of baldness, chances are you won't be victimized by scams. That's the conventional thinking. Everybody else--at one time or another--will be, this thought process continues.

Looks like, now, things, they are achangin', with some of these "conventional wisdoms" flying right out the window. Replaced by new schemes, new twists--some so wild and incomprehensible that all norms of clearly understandable description would not even be possible. In groping for logic about all you could come up with would be something like: They would make a man without religion look like a fish without a bicycle.

It appears that Larrimer's Constant is in motion: What the world needs is a damn good plague. The con artists are trying to give us the equivalent: Wide scale theft of our homes--right from under our own noses.

This scam is so vicious, so devious, so big, it could conceivably hit you like a bolt out of the blue, without your having done anything to encourage it, or even be aware of it. This scam will ensnare suckers and the gullible, as well as the wary and guarded alike--reel them all into its net. It's the identity theft / mortgage combination--one put together for a specific reason: to steal your house. It is a combination over which you have virtually no defense, no way to fight back.

How is this pulled off? The scam artist proceeds through this progression of Steps:

Step 1: Pick a house to steal, empty or occupied. Say it's yours. There is no safety in numbers, or anything else.

Step 2: Assume your identity. Assemble all the necessary data off the internet and from other black market sources. The creation of false IDs, social security cards, credit cards, etc., follows. Yours. The greatest productive force is human selfishness, a parable con artists everywhere universally recognize, and use as motivation to proceed.

Step 3: Pick up at any office supply store all the forms--readily available--that they need to transfer property.

Step 4: Then file their deed, after forging your signature and using the fake IDs and viola, your house is now theirs. The cacophonous sounds of geese in mating season have now been created long enough for them to sell it, run off with the money and leave all identity / true ownership problems for you to correct, once the noise level abates.

What do you plant to get a seedless watermelon or grape?

Sadly, life is what happens to you while you are making other plans. It's looking like the burden of proof is on you, to prove that all the new paperwork is fraudulent. Double sadly, Farber's First Law--Give him an inch and he will screw you--doesn't even apply.
Under the umbrella of this con game you can be defrauded out of your own home without even knowing what hit you. You don't even have to be gullible. Only vulnerable.

Hindsight is the only exact science. Thus, you have no alternative but to look back on all legal documents that constitute your ownership rights, and shore them up, one-by-one, so that they can withstand any legal test they are put to. Do this before anything goes afoul. Then, turn to Fingle's Rule for assurance: Do not believe in miracles, rely on them.
