How a Dream Home Became a Squatter Trap

Imagine moving into your freshly renovated dream home, only to find strangers living there—and they think they have a right to stay! That’s what happened to one Baltimore family, thanks to a sneaky social media scam selling fake leases. The real kicker? Police called it a civil issue, not a crime, so the real owner had to pay the squatters to leave. Lesson: Always double-check who you’re renting or buying from, and if you’re selling, keep eyes on your property until the deal is done! #HomeBuying #RealEstateScams #MoneyTips #RealEstate
