Background & Warrant Search

Department of Justice Press Release For Immediate Release April 27, 2009 United States Attorney's Office District of Maryland Contact: (410) 209-4800 Five Charged in $70 Million “Dream Home” Mortgage Fraud Scheme WASHINGTON—A federal grand jury has indicted four defendants, and information has been filed against a fifth defendant, for their participation in a massive mortgage fraud scheme that allegedly promised to pay off homeowners’ mortgages on their "Dream Homes," but left them to fend for themselves, Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division Lanny A. Breuer and U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein announced today. The indictment was returned on April 22, 2009, and unsealed today. "The Criminal Division and the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices are jointly committed to redoubling our efforts to uncover and prosecute fraud and abuse in all facets of the housing market – a market upon which so many American families have pinned their hopes and their futures for so many years," said Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division Lanny A. Breuer. "I want to assure the American public that we will not rest until the tide of this criminal activity is turned." "The indictment alleges that the defendants used slick marketing to conceal empty promises," said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. "They convinced many victims to invest at least $50,000 by refinancing their existing homes or buying new homes at inflated prices, while claiming that Metro Dream Homes would repay the mortgages with revenue from profitable businesses. The indictment alleges that there was no revenue to pay the mortgage payments. Instead, the conspirators used some of the investors' money to repay earlier investors in the Ponzi scheme and spent the remainder on themselves." "The effects of this wide-ranging mortgage fraud scheme are particularly disturbing within the backdrop of today’s economic environment. With our federal, state and local partners working on 18 mortgage fraud task forces and 47 mortgage fraud working groups across the country, the FBI is committed to combating mortgage fraud and other financial crimes nationwide to protect the American homeowner and the national economy," said Executive Assistant Director Thomas J. Harrington, FBI Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch. "IRS Criminal Investigation takes allegations of mortgage fraud seriously," said "Eileen Mayer, Chief, IRS Criminal Investigation. "These types of crimes drive home owners into foreclosure, erode the integrity of our tax system and threaten the financial health of our communities." According to the indictment, from 2005 to 2007 the defendants allegedly used corporate names such as "Metropolitan Grapevine LLC," "Metro Dream Homes," "POS Dream Homes," and "POS DH LLC" (collectively, MDH) to target homeowners and home purchasers to participate in a purported mortgage payment program called the "Dream Homes Program." To participate, an investor had to provide a minimum of $50,000 for each home enrolled in the program, in addition to an "administrative fee" of up to $5,000. In exchange, the program promised to make the homeowner’s future monthly mortgage payments, and pay off the homeowner’s mortgage within five to seven years. Thereafter, the homeowner and MDH would own an equal interest in the home. The indictment alleges that Andrew Hamilton Williams, Jr., 58, of Hollywood, Fla., was the founder and owner of MDH; Michael Anthony Hickson, 46, of Commack, N.Y., was the chief financial officer; Isaac Jerome Smith, 46, of Spotsylvania, Va., was the president; and Alvita Karen Gunn, 31, of Hanover, Md., was the vice president of operations. The information alleges that Carole Nelson, age 50, of Washington, D.C., was the chief financial officer of POS Dream Homes. The indictment further alleges that Dream Homes Program representatives explained to investors that the homeowners’ initial payments would be used to fund investments in automated teller machines (ATMs), flat-screen televisions that would show paid business advertisements, and "Touch-N-Buy" electronic kiosks that sold telephone calling cards and other items. To give the Dream Homes Program a veneer of legitimacy and financial success, the defendants marketed the program through live presentations at luxury hotels in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Beverly Hills, Calif., among other locations. The defendants allegedly told some of the investors that they should not worry about the price of the homes or monthly mortgage payments because MDH would make mortgage payments on their behalf. The indictment alleges that the defendants failed to advise investors that: the ATMs, flat-screen televisions and kiosks never generated any meaningful revenue; the defendants used the funds from later investors to pay the mortgages of earlier investors; and MDH had not filed any federal income tax returns throughout its existence. The defendants also allegedly failed to advise investors that their investments were being used for the personal enrichment of select MDH employees, including the defendants, to: pay salaries of up to $200,000 a year as well as their mortgages; employ a staff of 10 chauffeurs and maintain a fleet of luxury cars; and travel to and attend the 2007 National Basketball Association All-Star game and the 2007 National Football League Super Bowl, staying in luxury accommodations in both instances. Nor were investors told that investor funds were allegedly used to: pay off investors in a prior failed ATM investment venture that Williams had founded called Bankcard Group; make multiple donations of up to $50,000 each to charitable organizations to allegedly give MDH the appearance of being financially successful; and fund investments in third-party businesses that had not been disclosed to investors. On Aug. 15, 2007, the Maryland Securities Commissioner issued a cease-and-desist order to Williams, MDH and other related companies directing them to immediately cease the offering and sale of unregistered securities in connection with their promotion of the Dream Homes Program. However, the defendants thereafter allegedly called additional meetings in which they made additional misrepresentations about the financial success of MDH’s operations. On Sept. 4, 2007, the defendants filed a legal challenge in federal court in Maryland to the cease-and-desist order. The indictment alleges that at a hearing on Sept. 12, 2007, Hickson testified that the financial success of the Dream Homes Program did not rely upon new investor funds, when in fact Hickson knew that the sole source of meaningful revenue for MDH was new investor funds. As a result of the scheme, more than 1,000 investors in the Dream Homes Program invested approximately $70 million. When the defendants stopped making the mortgage payments, the homeowners were left to attempt to make the mortgage payments MDH had promised to make in full. The four indicted defendants face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for the fraud conspiracy; 20 years in prison on each of the 15 counts of wire fraud; and 20 years in prison for conspiracy to commit money laundering. Hickson also faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison for making false statements. Smith also faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison for bank fraud arising out of his alleged misrepresentation of his income in order to obtain a bank loan to purchase a new Bentley automobile. Nelson was charged by information with money laundering, which carries a maximum penalty of ten years in prison. The indictment seeks forfeiture of the fraud proceeds, including $70 million. An indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceeding. This prosecution is being brought jointly by the Maryland and Washington, D.C. Mortgage Fraud Task Forces, which are comprised of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies in Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia. The Task Forces were formed to promote the early detection, identification, prevention and prosecution of various kinds of mortgage fraud schemes. This case, as well as other cases brought by members of the Task Forces, demonstrates the commitment of law enforcement agencies to protect consumers from fraud and help to ensure the integrity of the mortgage market and other credit markets. Information about mortgage fraud prosecutions is available on the internet at http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/md/Mortgage-Fraud/index.html. Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer and U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein praised the FBI, IRS - CI, the Maryland Attorney General’s Office, Securities Division and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of Inspector General for their investigative work; and thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys for the District of Maryland Jonathan C. Su and Bryan E. Foreman, who are prosecuting the case. 09-395

CASH FRAUD USING FBI IDENTITY

This email is exactly as we received it, including the poor grammer! This is a FRAUD!
If you receive this request, do not respond to the persons that sent it to you! Instead, please report to FBI internet fraud division.

Notice below, how the first paragraph is taken directly from the real FBI website. The second paragraph is obviously not written by the same Red-Blooded-American as the 1st paragraph. Be aware of dramatic changes in writting styles. It will usually point to FRAUD!

These SCAMMERS are serious! They want our undercover agent named Fonda, whom they believe to be a typical American female, to give them $1,500 cash to secure a safe deposit box in Fonda's name into which they will "deposit" $5 Million U.S. dollars! They want "Fonda" to meet their Diplomat to arrange payment! This is DANGEROUS!

June 09, 2008-This letter is from a low-life who goes by the name of Mr. Wong-Shiu Ki. He wants to give you millions of dollars. He is such an "honest" man, that he includes photos of his beautiful family, and his personal ID card. DON'T BELIEVE IT! This is a scam!

Dear Friend,

Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Wong-Shiu Ki, an Account Officer with Bank Sinopac Taipei, Taiwan.

Fake Photo of family and personal identification:

In June, 2001, My late client Muhannad Al-Hakim, an Iraqi Crude oil merchant made a numbered fixed deposit of One Billion Five hundred Million Taiwan New Dollars ($1,500,000,000.00 TWD) for 18 calendar months, this is valued to Forty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars ($44,500,000.00 US.) only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war (U.S and Iraqi war), Four years ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that Muhannad Al-Hakim and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit his home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was.

http://www.iraqbodycount.net/names.htm

After further investigation it was also discovered that Muhannad Al-Hakim did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Forty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars ($44,500,000.00 US.) is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the  laws of my country at the expiration of Five years Six months the funds will revert to the ownership of the Taiwan Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.

Against this backdrop, we still have about two more months left for someone to come up and claim the next of kin to this fund.  My suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Muhannad Al-Hakim so that you will be able to receive his funds and for the money be pulled out from my bank and out from my country.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE?

I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Muhannad Al-Hakim , all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your :

Full Names:
Contact Address:
Occupation:
Nationality:
Telephone number: 
Fax number (if any):

After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favour for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.

There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are adopting a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you.

The attachment contains my identification card and my family pictures.
Finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation. Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards
Mr. Wong-Shiu Ki.

Dear Friend,

The purpose of my writing to you is because I am searching for a foreign Business partner who is in a position to assist me with my urgent business proposal, as time is not on my side. A partner, who understands what confidentiality, means and who has the necessary facilities I require in embarking on this important venture. I decided to contact you through email as it has remained the only possible means I consider safe to contact you. I apologize if this is not suitable to you.

We want to transfer to abroad $US16.5m (Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) from A Security Company, Oriental Trust Financial & Security SA, Spain Branch, situated in the above location in Spain. I am contacting you in a non-official capacity. To provide either an existing bank Account Or to set up a new bank account immediately to receive this money, even an empty account can serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to the transaction.

We will Start the first Transfer with Six Million U.S Dollars [$6,000.000.00] upon successful Transfer without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the Transfer of the remaining Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars [$10,500.000.00] I am, an Accountant, with Oriental Trust Financial &Security Company SA, Spain. During the Course of Our Auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened with the Security Company in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated on this account again.

After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that the owner of the account died without an (Heir), Hence the money has been floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited to the Spanish Government. From my Investigations I found out that the owner of this account was Mr. Garcia Ryszard a foreigner, and an Industrialist, he died since 1993 and no other Person knows about this account or anything concerning it except and most Probably you as you read this letter.

The account has no beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that Mr. Garcia Ryszard until his death was the Managing Director, Autohaus Fuchs, GMBH.

 

I am contacting you as a foreigner because this money can only be approved to a foreigner with a valid International Passport, Drivers License and foreign account because the money is in US Dollars and the former owner of the account Mr. Garcia Ryszard is a foreigner. I am revealing all this to you with the belief that you will never let me down in this business. Foryour active participation, I have two options of compensating you. Firstly you can choose to have 25% of the total money for your assistance or you can go into partnership with me for the proper and profitable investment of the entire money in your country in any lucrative business you will advise me of. Of course, the investment must be under your direct management and supervision. As soon as the money has been transferred into your account, I shall come to your country and meet you face to face to work out the modalities of the investments.Please notify me of your choice in your reply. I have also set aside 5% of the total sum $16.5M for all kinds of expenses that may come our way in the process of this transaction. Please note that this 5% for expenses is not with me at the moment but shall be deducted from the money as soon as you have received it in your account. Be informed that this transaction is risk free as all modalities have been put in place for a hitch free transaction.

I will discuss with you in details when I receive your response.

POSTED MAY 19 2008-CENTRAL BANK OF GHANA - DO NOT REPLY THIS IS A SCAM!

Attn: Sir,

I am DR. Mohammed Gibril Sule, Chairman, Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Contract
Awarding Committee of with its fund Headquarters in Accra-Ghana. I got your information in a Professional
database when I was searching through Internet for a reliable,honest | and trustworthy person to entrust this
business with.I was simply inspired and motivated to pick your contact from the many names in the list of
the directory. After discussing my view and your profile with my colleagues,they were very much
satisfied and decided to contact you immediately for this mutual business relationship.We wish to transfer
the sum of (USD$19,500,000.00) into your personal or company`s bank account.This fund was a residue of the
over invoiced contract bills awarded by us intentionally for the supply of hard and software,pharmaceuticals/medical items,light and heavy duty vehicles,apparels and other administrative/logistics for the ECOMOG ! in Sierra-Leone and Liberia during the peacekeeping Projects.

This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with the cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary of the Organization. We arranged and over invoiced the contract funds supplied by different companies from different countries during the crisis. It was our consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to transfer this money out of West Africa. This is borne out of our belief in the non-stable and porous political nature of this sub-region.
