#1: “Anna Richter, one of two Rialto women suing in federal court, said Tuesday that a friend from her church brought her into the group. … Richter identified the church friend as Connie Duron, the aunt of McLeod’s wife, a member of the church since August 2005. … ‘Connie to me was like a mom,’ Richter said.”
(OK, I know all about “affinity fraud” but here we’re talking about mortgaging your life on the word of someone who just joined your church.)
#2: Some participants report that the houses were purchased in the name of “Total Return Fund” … or that they were tricked into signing grant deeds under the guise of “liquidating” the properties.
(Is there anyone out there with a portable electrochemical gas sensor who can take O2 readings along I-15? I suspect a pattern of long-term brain damage resulting from borderline oxygen deprivation.)
As a Christian I must admit that anytime someone approaches me to conduct business, and mentions faith I grab onto my wallet.
That’s not to say there are tons of scammers lining the churches, I just mean in general even if I meet someone at a social gathering. I vistited a fairly nice, growing church up in Carlsbad, and the first guy I met mentioned some investment property in Twenty-Nine Palms. Sure thing, blah-blah. Probably a nice church, but that left an impact that I didn’t want to go back.

These folks are fighting back. Good for them I hope they stick it to the fraudsters. The fraudsters need to go to jail for a long time. http://www.coreclient.110mb.com
