They Bought Creekfront Lots That Never Existed - He Took $343,000

Someone convinced nine families to wire deposits totaling $343,000 for creekfront lots that didn’t exist, while five laminated placards stood in a soybean field and the real owner never knew his land was being sold. How did a man with blueprints, a rented office and an escrow clause spend three years selling paper lots until a 22-year-old bookkeeper’s curiosity started the collapse?
In this episode, you will hear how transactions, contracts and everyday banking blurred into a small-scale land fraud in Pallister County and how a single routine paperwork review turned months of deception into an eleven-day unraveling. What mistakes did buyers and local systems make that allowed this scheme to persist from 2016 to 2019?
Person: Neil Meyer
Date: scheme ran from 2016 to 2019
Amount: $343,000
Location: Larkin Creek, Pallister County, Iowa
Owner: Paul Harwick
- Nine families wired deposits to reserve lots in "Larkin Creek Estates" they believed were creek-side parcels.
- Five laminated placards marking foundation forms were found staked in a soybean field on Harwick’s 60-acre property.
- The escrow agent named in contracts was Neil Meyer, but the escrow account did not exist and deposits went into a checking account for Meyer Residential Development LLC.
- Margaret Hollis invested $22,000 and Jeff Sato invested $35,000; the Perkins family committed $26,000.
- The parcel identification numbers in Meyer's contracts were copied from an abandoned 1990s subdivision plat and matched Paul Harwick’s farmland.
