Ministry of Lands: Be wary of forged land documents in circulation

By Zoila Palma: Today, the Ministry of Natural Resources, Petroleum, and Mining issued a notice to the public informing that it is aware of the circulation of forged land documents.

The Ministry noted that forged documents are being presented to the Lands and Survey Department as evidence of payment for land transactions including but not limited to:

the purchase price, transfer fees, and other fees charged by and payable to the Lands Department 

forged certificates of title and lease certificates purporting to have been issued by the Land Registry

In addition, the Ministry says that it is also aware of former employees of the Lands and Survey Department who have been misrepresenting themselves to the public as having the authority to conduct business on behalf of the Department and Ministry.

Those who suspect that they are in possession of forged documents are asked to contact the Lands and Survey Department to have the authenticity of their documents verified.

Everyone is warned to take note and exercise extreme caution.
