Real Estate Fraud
The housing market has taken a devastating hit over the past few
years. Foreclosure rates are at an all-time high. Unfortunately,
our community has seen an increase in fraud associated with the real
estate market. Consequently, the District Attorney’s
Office has an investigator and prosecutor assigned specifically to
Real Estate Fraud. This team focuses on cases involving real
property investments (including deeds of trust and real property securities),
foreclosures scams, loan modification scams, and fraud in connection
with real property transactions. They coordinate with other
county, state, and federal agencies as real estate cases tend to
span multiple jurisdictions.
If you have a case involving real estate fraud, please download
the Real Estate Fraud Complaint Form. Complete the form, attach
any supporting documentation, and forward it to the address provided
for review.
