The nerds who brought us the digital revolution did so without any thought to the obvious consequences. Americans addicted to scrolling their cell phones and enjoying social media are suffering from the numerous threats that the digital revolution brings to them. Not just government spying on them and, if government wishes, setting them up for prosecution. Not just from being dispossessed of their identity and left with massive bills. Not just from theft of their bank and retirement accounts. The digital revolution allows thieves to steal our homes.

Assuming it is not another hoax, the Daily Mail provides the FBI’s account of how it works: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/real-estate/article-14567729/fbi-warning-scam-victims-24-hours-save-home.html
To protect yourself from the easy theft of your home, you should sign up for a notification alert at the registry of deeds, which will alert you when a document is recorded for your property. You are most vulnerable if your property is debt free with no mortgage. If you have no mortgage, take out a small one as your property cannot be transferred from your ownership until the mortgage is paid, if my understanding is correct. So having to clear a mortgage provides you with a warning that your home is in the process of being stolen.
The digital revolution is the worst thing except for nuclear weapons that humans have ever devised. The Tech morons who gave us this disaster failed to anicipate the disastrous consequences of their work.

Urgent FBI warning about cruel scam suffered by thousands that leaves you with just 24 hours to save your home
The FBI is sending an urgent warning to homeowners to be aware of ‘title theft,’ the latest of various moves fraudsters make in order to steal a property owner’s identity and sell their land out from under them.
The land theft is on the rise, with the FBI saying the scammers tend to prey on the elderly.
‘Our elderly population [are more at risk] because they are more likely to own vacant pieces of land that they have had for quite some time, and they are also more likely to own homes without any mortgages on them,’ FBI Special Agent Vivian Barrios told CBS.
‘Because those have the biggest benefit to the criminal actor.’
In Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, 2,301 victims lost more than $61.5 million from 2019 to 2023.
According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, nationwide, from 2019 through 2023, 58,141 victims reported $1.3 billion in losses relating to real estate fraud.
In the Boston Division – which includes all of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island – during the same period, 2,301 victims reported losing more than $61.5 million. In Maine 262 victims lost $6,253,008. In Massachusetts, 1,576 people lost $46,269,818. In New Hampshire 239 people lost $4,144,467. In Rhode Island 224 people lost a combined $4,852,220.
Time is of the essence and as soon as a victim finds out this has happened, they need to report it, ideally within 24-hours. That makes it easier for the feds to get the money back to the victims.
