Here's a new article from USA Today that I thought worth sharing:FBI: Housing scams more than doubleApparently foreclosure scams are really on the up and the FBI expects the trend to continue....Thoughts?

It was halfway through the video that I finally put it ALL together and figured out how this was a MLM scam.

And some of the scams they run... these people are so "intellegent" it is almost scary.

The clubs do have good speakers but half of them are trying to sell courses for big money to unsuspecting people who haven't been around the block.

The city is crawling with scammers waiting to take advantage of unsuspecting investors.

Be specific, if its for an amusement park, search "amusement park loans".I am also seeking investors and most are scam artists that ask me for $!!!

Good luck, its a catch 22I don't disagree that there are a few programs and educators out there that have the real deal and provide valuable insight and information, however, there are many more who pitch pipedreams to the unsuspecting which is why most of us usally advise caution when dealing with gurus.

Willie - If you're talking about posting fake ads in order to manipulate unsuspecting investors that you're lying to them, don't do it.

And if they don't... am I in for some kind of scam???

Trust is a wonderful thing, but has no place in a real estate transaction.Btw, if it was the seller who suggested skipping the title search or it was the seller who told you the process would take "a couple weeks," then it's pretty clear that this seller either doesn't know what he's talking about or he's trying to scam you.
