The Cook County State’s Attorney Westside Community Justice Center in partnership with the Oak Park Police Department will present a free property fraud awareness seminar in Council Chamber of Village Hall, 123 Madison St.
Officials will discuss a new trend where criminals misrepresent themselves as owners or landlords of vacant homes. They may live there for free until the actual owner - most likely a bank - discovers what is happening, or try to fraudulently rent the homes to others.
Call 708.386.7301 for more information.
