No mention of going after the phony who sold the property, which is a criminal matter.
That says to me: Get ready for a lot more of these cases.
No one. Even an illegal idiot peon from whatever south american sh!thole he comes, can honestly think buying such a house for $5000 is legitimate. The lawyers know this, the authorities know this. It is theft, pure and simple, and they had better take shifts.
There is no phony salesman...... the whole thing is a probably a scam perpetrated by the occupiers.
An Alert for y’all: When we had a house for rent there was an immediate ad on craiglist for the rental. It was below our price and was a phony agent who demanded an application fee.
We posted warnings on all the doors and the main window about the swindle.
