Reporting Suspected Real Estate and Mortgage Fraud
There are many different local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies and government agencies involved in fighting real estate and mortgage fraud. The more information we can give them about suspected instances of fraud, the better they can protect us.
If you or someone you know thinks that individuals involved in real estate fraud have scammed them, or if you are involved in a real estate-related transaction that just doesn't feel right, we urge you to contact the proper authorities. Depending on where you live, you may need to contact your local FBI office, your state's Attorney General's office, or the local police.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)The FBI encourages everyone to report any suspected violations of U.S. federal law, including activities that you suspect to involve Real Estate and Mortgage Fraud. The FBI's Field Offices are located in major cities throughout the United States and in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In addition, resident agencies are maintained in smaller cities and towns across the country.
