Hi,
Thank you very much for the article you published on mortgage fraud. We
posted this story on our Mortgage Fraud Discussion Board:
http://discussionboards.mortgagefraudqc.com/.
A similar thing happened to me in the mid-1990s by a company in Huntington
Beach, Anastasi Realty and his brother who owned Anastasi construction. I
was a single mother and making a very moderate income when I was coerced
with promises of building my credit and hope of my own home ownership one
day. After getting reeled in by promises of becoming a property owner
(while renting myself), an intermediary orchestrated the loans on the homes
that valued approximately $750k for the new construction town homes, back
then!. There were first, second and Title 1 (or third) liens on the homes.
Another co-worker was also in possession of three other units. After the
simultaneous closings and the disbursement of all of the funds, of which I
received nothing, the culprits pocketed close to two million dollars off of
us. Within two months the “tenants” stopped paying the rents (one of the
tenants was the individual who orchestrated the deals). When I began to
inquire as the lender’s collection calls began, I was threatened with being
turned into the FBI for my participation, and then my children were
threatened and I left it alone.
This motivated my desire to learn more and I have had a career in fighting
mortgage fraud for the past 10 years. If there is ever anything I can be
of assistance with feel free to contact me. We welcome you to visit our
Mortgage Fraud discussion board and encourage your readers to utilize our
blog as well to share their similar experiences. The reason the criminals
are allowed to continue is that their names and company information remain
a secret until (and IF) there is a prosecution.
Please let your readers know they can openly share their stories so we can
prevent other innocent people searching for the American Dream from having
their lives destroyed.
