Land Grant Foreclosure Scam

If someone offers you a way to protect your home through a “land grant,” don’t by it because it is a scam. The California Attorney General announced on May 22nd that it had shut down a team of scam artists operating under the name of the Federal Land Grant Company. Bill Hutchings, his wife Xiaoke Li and former wife Shawna Landis, acquired the deeds to hundreds of homes in a foreclosure related scam. They convinced desperate homeowners that they could save their property if they deeded their property to federal land grants.

Land grant transfers were once used hundreds of years ago when the US was buying land from other countries and no one in modern day recognizes those documents.

The ultimate lesson from this is that if it sounds too good to be true, it is.
