Something similar happened in Germany recently. A house worth millions was fraudulently sold like this. The original owners got it back luckily.

German video about it: https://youtu.be/TolvzYzk64c




At least here the thieves were known (or even well-known). What if the buyer transferred money to some Nigerian prince who showed up with fake ID and disappeared after the sale? Would the buyer end up with no money and no house?


These things always happen when a low trust society comes into contact with a high trust society.
