If I find the time, I really want to dig into not just this story, but the scam in general. Sadly, as everyone from GatorCountry to our health insurer to the state is so willing to sell our information and do a poor job of protecting it, it is probably much easier than I think to pull off a scam like this. There are times when I think that the Muslims may have gotten it right when it comes to dealing with "Hudud crimes". People that steal the houses from others in this kind of scam and get caught really should suffer major pain. I would not be opposed to losing a hand to symbolically keep them from using computers for such crimes (kidding...kind of).
