Part 3/12:
Alongside political debates, a disturbing trend in crime has emerged in the form of real estate scams, colloquially termed "house stealing." Criminals forge signatures, counterfeit notary stamps, and file fraudulent documents to transfer property titles out of legitimate owners' names. This process facilitates the taking out of loans or even selling property without the true owner’s knowledge. Victims often discover their loss only when facing foreclosure or collection notices, underscoring the importance of monitoring one’s property titles regularly.
