Recently the Shasta County District Attorney’s Office sent out a press release regarding their Real Estate Fraud Unit. This press replease discussed the annual report, the fees collected, the number of complaints received, its

 public relations, and the most common scams.

The Real Estate Fraud unit was formed last summer and upon The Board of Supervisors approving the new program, they also approved for it to be funded through the fees collected through certain real estate documents that were recorded through the assessor’s office.

The total amount of fees that were collected over the fiscal year totaled more then $80,000. Ten percent of that amount went to the Assessor’s-Recorder’s office to reimburse them for incured expenses, the remaining $80,000 was given to the investigation postition at the District Attorney’s Office.

Since the beginning, even a little bit before, the creation of this department, right around 66 calls of complaints have been received. Some cases have lead to criminal prosecution, some have been referred to other jurisdictions (where the case joined to other cases against the same suspect who was already under investigation within that jurisdiction or had already been prosecuted within that juridiction), some have been referred to the California Department of Real Estate based on the unethical behavior of realtors, and some in some other cases the investigator intervened on behalf of local citizens and was able to recover money that was paid to loan modification companies.

The public outreach programs that the Real Estate Fraud Unit have been involved in are: Press releases, radio appearances, and presentations to groups. The District Attorney Jerry Benito has also met with U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner to coordinate efforts related to mortgage fraud here in the Shasta County area.

There are two scams that have been the most common – Nigerian Rent Scams and Loan Modification Scams.

The Nigerian Rent Scam is where criminals in Nigeria surf the Internet for homes that are for sale. They then take the information regarding that listing and create a rental ad for that same property. The Nigerian claims that they

are out of the area for work, offers to rent the property, and requests a deposit. After the interested party sends them the deposit, they then learn that the property is not for rent – not even owned by the person they were dealing with.

The Loan Modification Scam is where a company offers to assist troubled homeowners to modify their home loan. These companies will often request an upfront fee to perform their services – many of these companies are out-of-state. After sending of the fee the homeowner may see delays, little work, never see a modification, and they will not see their money paid upfront. Under California law, loan modification companies are not allowed to charge an upfront fee. It is also important to know that even while working with a loan modification company, your home is still at risk for foreclosure. Remain in close contact with your lender during the loan modification.
