Scammers thrive in the real estate market. How can you tell if the seller is trying to cheat you? There are many possible scams:

1. The power of attorney they present is forged.
2. The actual owner has passed away, and the seller is trying to get rid of the property before the rightful heirs can inherit.
3. The owner is trying to sell the house without their spouse's knowledge, even though this is illegal.
4. The seller's relatives will claim that the owner did not understand what they were doing due to their advanced age, and so on.
