We're considering filing a suit for damages against a foreclosure scam
artist whose actions helped to render our clients homeless. However,
we're somewhat pressed for resources and so it would be easier for us
to take the case if we knew we were going to be bringing down a
defendant who's victimized other vulnerable homeowners.
Unfortunately, we've been unable to determine through the usual
methods (checking records at county property assessors' offices in our
service area) that this potential defendant had in fact successfully
been able to scam anyone besides our prospective clients... Does
anyone know of any way to check on the impact a scammer has had in the
community?
