If you live in Ontario, watch out for ID fraud, especially if you own a house. You might find yourself neither a buyer nor a seller but homeless anyway.

Update: I wondered whether Mr. Reviczky had actually lost his home, and did a search. Couldn't find out immediately, but did come across this, which sheds some light on what went on and the remedies proposed.

I seem to recall (dragging this up from the depths of law school) that that's pretty common in the states, too, that the law would favor the innocent buyer over the defrauded owner. Whee.

Well, that's really against common sense in these days of identify fraud, I guess. But how to stop it?
