“Scammers targeting valley landowners with goal of fake sales” with a subtitle of “Sun Valley Board of Realtors warns of fraud scheme after a rash of failed attempts.” Let me point out a few things which need to be understood.

They rely on one simple truth of the real estate process – documents and information are easily available by anyone who can walk into a county recorders office and ask for a copy of a deed or other information. The only way to stop that is to have the document recorded by the county and also the commitment of a cryptographic hash immutably associated to that document to a private blockchain which is what our US patent # # 11,061,886describes. Once the document hash is added to the blockchain, it becomes the source of truth for the owner of the property.
