3. Introduction To Real Estate Scam

4. ★ Real estate is one of the world's largest and most complex industries. As it will be
brought into light at the MoRe 2.0 Conference 2023 editions, real estate is also
vulnerable to scams and fraudulent activity, which can cause harm to property buyers,
sellers, and the market as a whole.
★ Real estate scams are fraudulent schemes used to persuade individuals to invest in or
purchase property that does not exist, is overpriced, or is otherwise financially unsound.
★ As discussed by a real expert veteran who will attend the MoRe 2.0 Conference Dubai
edition, scam perpetrators will often use high-pressure sales tactics and manipulative
language to entice unsuspecting victims into making a bad investment or purchase.
★ Real estate scams can be executed by individuals, small groups, or even large
organizations. The most common scams involve false advertising, misrepresentation, and
financial fraud. Victims of these scams can suffer significant financial losses, and in some
cases, psychological harm as well.

MoRe 2.0 Conference experts, you must know about →

7. Phony Rental Scams:
Phony rental scams involve fraudulent individuals posing as landlords or property owners
and listing fake rental properties online. MoRe 2.0 Conference’s team of experts say that in
such a scam, the criminal will often request upfront payments from prospective tenants,
who later discover that the property does not actually exist.
Inflated Appraisal Scams:
Inflated appraisal scams occur when the appraiser overvalues a property, often at the
request of the seller or a mortgage broker. This can result in the buyer paying more than
the property is actually worth or the seller receiving more than the property is worth.
Mortgage Fraud:
Adding further, MoRe 2.0 Conference’s leaders say that mortgage fraud occurs when a
person falsifies information on a mortgage application, such as income, employment, or
assets, in order to obtain a loan they wouldn't otherwise qualify for. Such fraud can have
serious consequences for both the borrower and the lender.

8. Hidden Fee Scams:
As stated at the Spring Edition of the MoRe 2.0 Conference, hidden fee spam or scam occur
when a property dealer or real estate agent charges additional fees, such as closing costs,
that were not disclosed or agreed upon during the negotiation process.
Bait-and-Switch Scams:
Bait-and-switch scams occur when a property dealer advertises a property for sale or rent
at an attractive price but then switches the deal to a different property or price once the
buyer or tenant is interested.
