Land fraud refers to illegal activities involving the deceitful acquisition, sale, or ownership of land. This can include schemes such as falsifying documents, misrepresenting property boundaries, or selling land that does not exist. Victims of land fraud often face financial losses and legal complications as they navigate the aftermath of the deception.
