Detroit Warns Residents Of Housing Scam Offering Free Homes
(CBS DETROIT) - The City of Detroit is warning its residents about a housing hoax that offers so-called free homes in the city.
Officials say a man named Ramzu Yunus is behind the false advertising.
Yunus has people sign a fake deed saying they now own a Detroit home.
Authorities say the document is not legitimate and people cannot live in vacant homes that are not theirs.
Police also warn that Yunus could be dangerous; just a few weeks ago he was involved in an armed standoff.
