Why diaspora buyers get scammed
Fake title documents
The most common fraud — forged titles sold to diaspora who cannot visit in person to verify at the land registry.
Ghost properties
Properties listed that don't exist or have already been sold. Diaspora pay deposits and never hear from the agent again.
Price manipulation
Sellers charge diaspora 2-3x the real market rate, knowing buyers cannot easily compare prices from abroad.
Dangerous contracts
Sale agreements written to favor the seller with clauses that strip buyer protections. Hidden fees revealed at closing.
