Dealing with squatters in rentals and vacant homes has become more of an issue than ever before.
Exacerbating the issue are fraudsters on social media who are now allegedly targeting vulnerable people in need of housing and intentionally pointing them in the direction of homes that are recently unoccupied—for a small fee, of course.

After spending tens of thousands renovating the four-bedroom, two-bath home, Haskell was 24-hours away from finalizing a sale when he got an unfortunate call.
By the next morning, he’d learned that an unknown family of four had been living on the property for at least a week—without his permission.
