This remembered me of a nobility title scam coming from Scotland.
In Scotland for some weird combinations of their laws, and UK laws that I don't remember properly anymore, anyone can get a "nobility" title by owning land there, except UK laws say nobles are only those that can be peers in the parliament (House of Lords), and that scottish title is NOT one of them.
Some scammers then sell those titles attached to a square foot of land, and charge crazy prices (ie: much, much, much more than buying a square land of foot yourself in Scotland), then claim the buyer is an actual noble (like I said, the buyer isn't, although the title IS legitimate, in UK it does not count as a nobility title)
People that work with actual nobility title frequently get annoyed with those scammers and try to convince UK government to shut them down.
