Default Fraud - Bad mortgage and bad checks
Dear Sirs

I live in South Carolina , on January 31 2004 I loan a freind , who i trusted a sizeable amout of money. I did it with an attourney, in return the friend gave me a mortgage on their house , a promisary note , and 2 post dated checks. To date I have only received 25% of the money owed to me, and I have engaged an attourney to get the rest , but it doesnt look like they have any money. I later found out that these people are dis- honest and have done this before. On january 14 2004 the Court of Common Pleas issued a special referee's order and Judgement of foreclosure and sale, of the house , their premary residence , the same one that they gave me a mortgage on .the property was not sold because the defendants staying the action by entering int a forebearance agreement with the plaintiff. The Defendant defaulted on said agreement, Their house has been sold this Febuary . My question is , being that they gave me a mortgage , that was recorded, on property that was ordered forecloused and sold 17 days before, would this be first degree fraud. Forgive me for being so long winded.
thank you Al my email is realbigal@walla.com

Default Fraud Crimes
If you believe a criminal act was committed, you should file a police report and see if the police are interested in prosecuting these individuals, either in relation to the mortgage or the checks.
