After completing a refinance with these people 2 months ago, I just found out they have possibly altered documents to take money from me that was supposed to go to an impound account.

For days, they have given me the runaround since I first called to find out why my final Escrow documents weren't honored. They're hard to get hold of, won't return phone calls, lie about everything, don't pay their appraisers, and they're so sneaky that the borrower won't find out all this until well after the fact. I did business with their salesman, "Patrick Mayer", who was always nice and had a New York accent, but he's not available these days. Mike Tabrizi, or whoever he is, told me Patrick was recovering from a motorcycle accident - then he said to me in a phone call yesterday that he (Mike) hadn't called me because he was visiting "Alex" in the hospital. Huh???

I couldn't reach Fred Fariman, and my call to him was intercepted by someone named "Nash" or "Arash". THIS guy said he was Mike's partner, and that he would "take care of this situation" for me. Not only has he NOT taken care of the problem, he never called me after setting up that phone conference date with me. I sat by my phone, taking time off work, waiting for the call that never came. It was to have been at 11am PST, and when they didn't call by noon, I faxed an inquiry to Mike. About ten minutes later, he called me, and seemed flustered because he had no information except to say I hadn't signed that impound request.

I am no stranger to the process of getting real estate loans. Never before have I encountered a con like this. I think they probably steal from everyone, and that final Escrow documents are either altered or amended without the borrower's knowledge.

This time they picked the wrong person to defraud. I'm pursuing a quest for the truth however long it takes. Help is welcome. Maybe if enough of us victims, along with some Federal or State agency assistance, make an effort to out these lying thieves, we can put them out of business and stop them from hurting other people.

Here's a lesson for you.... before publicly bashing a company how about you get your facts straight. Not only did you list every one's full names but you also stated stuff that I am sure you cannot prove i.e. "they do not even pay their appraisers". Who knows what financial harm you have done to this company and you stated they were not the culprit. I didn't even see where you apologized to them publicly and just like you have the right to go after them legally I think they should be able to come after you personally and hold you liable for your comments.

But hey that's just my opinion!

Happy endings do occur. We've solved the original problem, and I have to say that First Financial was not the culprit. May this serve as a lesson to all - know who you're doing business with and never let a notary public walk off with your escrow papers unless he/she has gone through them completely with you and stamped them, signed them, etc. in your presence.
