Source: FBI ↗Who is at Risk?
Some property owners face a higher risk because their property may be an easier target.
Owners of vacant land
Vacant properties can be targets because no one is regularly present to notice suspicious activity.
Out-of-state or absentee owners
Owners who live elsewhere may not promptly see correspondence, notices, or unexpected activity.
Inherited or infrequently monitored properties
Properties that are checked infrequently can provide an opportunity for scammers before the owner can respond.
