Don't be a scam victim.

Fake titles of nobility are supposed titles of nobility which have, in fact, been fabricated, and are not recognized by any government, or have never been recognized in the past. They have received an increasing amount of press attention as the number of scams which attempt to sell these titles has increased. The British embassy to the United States, warns that "the sale of British titles is prohibited by the Honours (known as the Prevention of Abuses) Act, 1925." This refers to peerages, baronetages, knighthoods, and related honours but excludes Scottish feudal titles. Historically, only the Sovereign has been allowed to grant titles.

The title of Lord of the Manor, a minor feudal title, which is not a title of nobility, can be traded, although not all sellers of such are genuine. This title does not grant any change in the prefix of the holder's name. It is not possible to purchase genuine British titles of nobility or peerage titles directly, with one exception: it is possible to acquire a feudal title in the grade of baron in Scotland.

Buyer beware - you have been warned . . .
