This video may takes your time, but it is worth listening for those who want to know how to buy property without being scammed:




Fraud and investment scams abound at all levels of the real estate market – whether it be a contractor who charges hundreds of dollars for work not done to an "investment agent" who embezzles hundreds of millions – protecting yourself can require a measure of vigilance and legwork, but it can also come down to exercising scepticism and common sense.


Always have your guard up, be overly cautious when you talk about buying a property. If something seems too good to be true, then it probably is. We recommend going with a reputable real estate company. At the very least, if you are buying or investing in a foreign country, do your research first.
