ValleyMLS.com has received notice of an increase in vacant land scams occurring.
These scams typically involve vacant land that is owned outright. The scammer locates a property through public records, impersonates the owner, and lists the property for sale, usually as a FSBO, for a price below market value. Many of these false listings appear on third party sites, but some are listed with brokerages in order to get the listing on the MLS.
