Fraudsters do their mischief: wrong real estate offer in Tuttlingen!

in Tuttlingen, in the district of Nendingen, is a single -family house for sale without the owner being aware of it. The property is offered for 168,000 euros and comprises seven rooms and an area of 155 square meters on an over 1000 square meter property. Anke M. and her husband, who are looking for a new home, had sent an inquiry to the sellers.

A woman named Aurora Tenorio answered a German email address. In her message, she stated that the house was debt -free. However, Anke M. decided not to react to the answer after reading a fraud warning. According to the investigation, real estate in cities such as Fürth, Ratingen and Friedrichshafen have also been offered by fraudsters.

The situation continued to escalate when Stefanie von Szalghary, who wanted to rent her parents' house in Nendingen, discovered that her ad was copied. The house was described in the fake ad, and Stefanie received inquiries from prospective buyers who encountered offers transferred to these stubsters. After a tour of a young couple who pointed out Stefanie on the fake advertisement, she informed both the police and Immowelt about the incident.

The police initially could not file a complaint because Stefanie was not considered to be damaged. Nevertheless, Patrick Zöller, police spokesman, expressed that an initial suspicion could exist for an advertisement. Fraud stitches with real estate ads are rare in the Tuttlingen district, but there have already been two similar cases. The police work with platform operators to determine the perpetrators and collect evidence.

In addition, real estate seekers are warned to recognize fraud stitches. On real estate portals, fraudsters often try to obtain money and personal data through dubious offers. Immowelt.de gives tips on a distinction between reputable business partners and fraudsters. The most common form of fraud is the prepayment fraud in which alleged owners demand a deposit in advance to send the key by post, such as Immowelt.de . Users should be careful with such offers, especially if the prices are significantly below the market value or if communication is incomprehensible.

Stefanie von Szalghary has not yet found any tenants, but continues to receive inquiries.
