If there are fears, let's talk about bees, sorry sting.

Sale of property by non-owner

This sting is usually carried out by people who have access to the property in one form or another, such as: the property tenant, the person who handles the property and who has a key and the like, or by those who had information about the property of a deceased person who died / is in my home ” Etc.

The owners of the apartment are usually elderly or even privileged who have difficulty handling the property, those who are not in the country, or who have passed away or left as heirs.

The "seller" presents the apartment to the buyers, while forging ID. Or forging a power of attorney to sell the property and sell the property.

In many cases, the "seller" gift the transaction with a large initial cash payment, giving a "discount" on the property and after making the first payment is gone with the money.

In other cases, the buyers transfer funds to the "seller" during the transaction, with the scam becoming apparent during the execution of the transaction after some of the funds have been transferred to the "seller". Sometimes even the buyers come to the "long-awaited day" and receive the apartment into their hands and pay the full price.

By the time the scam was discovered, the "seller" usually disappeared.
But when it becomes clear to the property owner that his apartment has been sold without his knowledge, he will argue against the sale, be able to demand its cancellation, and get a strong return on his apartment, while the unsuspecting buyers will remain in a broken trough while transferring money to the "seller" and remain without an apartment.

Therefore, when making a deal, note that you are performing it in front of the owner of the property itself. Go to meet the owner of the property yourself, see his ID card, check birth dates in front of the person who is standing before you, make sure you are purchasing the property from the right person.
