Moffy Yu, a former international student who now lives in China's Hubei province, said she never put her home on Yonge Street up for sale. Instead, she says, it was stolen.

Toronto police confirmed there was an “active investigation” into the case but would release no further details. Bank of Montreal says it's standing by to help police, while the director of land titles placed a “caution” notice on the property title on Aug. 31. He said the phenomenon involved “a fraudulent impostor” claiming to be the property's owner, having “manufactured and prepared identification.”
Yu, 24, only noticed that “something unusual” was going on with her condo, which she bought in 2017 for more than $800,000, when her monthly property management fees weren't charged last July. The real estate photography firm that posted the tour of Yu's apartment online did not respond to an email. “It's important for all the professionals involved, the Realtor, the lawyer, and the banker, to check very closely identity documents,” said Hudak.
