Real estate agents in Yanchep say they have foiled an alleged property scam after noticing warning signs in a proposed transaction. Across multiple reports, the person suspected of running the scam contacts the agents and claims they are overseas. The would-be seller then asks for changes to the land title, including a request to alter the name on the title, and seeks assistance to sell the property.
The proposed sale price is reported at about $900,000. The agents’ intervention is described as a key factor in stopping the process from progressing further. The reports indicate that the agents are alert to tactics commonly used in property fraud and respond by not complying with the unusual request to update the title and proceed with a sale while the owner is said to be abroad.
The matter is presented as an alleged scam attempt; the reports do not provide details of any charges or legal outcomes. The central points are the overseas claim, the requested name change on the land title, and the aim to facilitate a sale around $900,000, all prevented by the agents’ prompt action.
