    Your Polson Police Department is investigating incidents of attempted real estate fraud. This real
    estate scam appears to be targeting vacant lots owned by people residing outside of Polson City
    limits.

    The suspects have attempted to conduct real estate business over the telephone and in some

    property officials. The suspects are impersonating property owners and attempting to sell their
    lots.

    We are diligently investigating this matter and working hard to bring this case to a close. While
    the investigation is ongoing, we felt the need to inform the community. When entering real estate
    negations please work with your agent, realtor, title company, building officials, and other
    property professionals to ensure property and identity documents are authentic. Should you have
    any questions or suspicions about authenticity please do not hesitate to contact local law
    enforcement.

    If you have information regarding recent real estate fraud attempts or transactions as described
    above, please contact Detective Cooper with the Polson Police Department at 406-883-7301 or
