Another scam exposed

Tweet

I heard what sounded like a great opportunity and have been hearing about it for quite awhile. It's making money buying tax liens. This scam centers on selling you information about how to buy properties that have overdue taxes, valuable properties for as little as $500. The state seizes the property and lists it for sale for the price of the unpaid taxes. Now, this used to be true and was a way to get the taxes paid but now most states don’t allow the sale of these properties to the public. In fact 37 states don’t allow the sale of properties seized for unpaid taxes. And even if they did allow it, most states have homestead laws that would negate foreclosing rights and prevent you from evicting the people in the homes with liens. The ads state the exact opposite! So if you think you can buy a $500,000 house for $500 and sell if for $350,000 or more, you are sadly misinformed. Save your $49 and give this scam a pass! I'm very surprised that someone has not sued these companies for fraud.
