Fake Titles, Real Losses

A forged title deed, a rented office in Nairobi CBD, actors posing as landowners, and one parcel sold to many buyers. By the time victims realise, the sellers are long gone.

Fake Titles, Real Losses is an investigation written as a guide. Each chapter takes apart a specific kind of property scam, shows how it works from the inside, and gives you the verification steps that would have stopped it. You will see the anatomy of a fake title, how a web of brokers keeps the fraud moving, how grabbed public land gets sold as private, and how succession scams target grieving families. Further chapters look at why the diaspora is such a valuable target, developers who vanish with deposits, and plots sold through social media. You will also learn exactly what to do if you have already been scammed.

It closes with a verification toolkit for anyone buying, advising on or recovering from a property deal in Kenya.
