After contacting agents for properties one wants to buy, the best thing to do is to check them out yourself. There is no harm in checking out the properties that you want to invest your hard-earned cash. The best way to get scammed is by not checking out the properties yourself and accessing it
If you're buying a property,do proper findings to know the real owner and better a lawyer and police should be involve before making payment to validate the document and other important things
If you are buying directly from the owner then you have to d on your research on the legitimacy of the land ask for documents if necessary. If you are buying through an agent then make sure he is a member of legal body so you know how to get him if it happens to be a scam.
