- A self-proclaimed Nigerian scammer claims credit for the failed attempt to auction off Elvis Presley's Graceland mansion.
- The scammer alleged that Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, owed $3.8 million to their company and threatened to sell Graceland to recover the debt.
- Legal battles ensue as Elvis' granddaughter, Riley Keough, sues the fake lender for falsifying documents related to the auction.
A scammer from Nigeria tried to sell Elvis Presley's Graceland mansion, making his granddaughter Riley Keough upset. The ownership of the mansion was questioned when a company called Naussany Investments and Private Lending LLC said they could auction it. They claimed they had loaned money to Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis' daughter, who used Graceland as collateral before she passed away in January 2023. However, a lawsuit filed by Lisa Marie's daughter, Keough, revealed that the documents were fake, her mother's signature was forged, and the company was a scam. The estate, visited by 500,000 people yearly, was inherited by Lisa Marie after Elvis' death in 1977 and opened as a museum in 1982. Keough became the heir after her mother's death. The scammer admitted to targeting Americans but failed due to the property's high profile. The scam was called off after being exposed. The scammer sent fake documents claiming Lisa Marie owed money, but they were proven to be fraudulent. The scammer never explained why they confessed. The court received the fake documents from an American number. The scammer had no contact with the company they claimed to represent. Legal action was not pursued due to complications in different states. A scammer from Nigeria tried to sell Elvis Presley's Graceland mansion, making his granddaughter Riley Keough upset.
