Real Estate Fraud
The dream of home ownership remains one of the most important goals for many
San Diegans. Owning one's home or business is a source of pride and security, and
provides an opportunity for financial growth. Unfortunately, real estate fraud
scams can steal these dreams with a single forged signature or get-rich-quick
scheme.
The San Diego District Attorney's Office is dedicated to the investigation and
prosecution of real estate-related crimes. Attacking real estate crimes and
other white-collar criminal activity is one of our top priorities, which is why
the Real Estate Fraud Program exists within the
Economic Crimes Division.
We will not let individuals empty the pockets of unsuspecting San Diegans. If you
suspect you are a victim of real estate fraud, or have knowledge of such activity,
please report this information to the District Attorney's Office as directed in
this brochure. Through our collective efforts, we can protect individuals from
fraudulent activity and provide a safe real estate market. With your help, the
District Attorney Real Estate Fraud Program will make San Diego County a safe
and honest real estate market for us all.
