Global Financial Management Dr. Richard Ashton, Karen James Real Estate Ripoff Counterfeit Cashier's Check New York, New York
I'm a real estate attorney in Long Beach, CA. See the other reports about "Dr. Ashton" and Global Financial Management. They sent me an unsolicited "cashier's check" in the amount of $815k allegedly for the purchase of a home, where the purchase price was $679. The check was counterfeit. The fraud could have worked in several ways, all of which work because it takes the bank 4 -6 weeks to investigate a fraudulent check. The "buyer" either closes, and has escrow refund the excess deposit, or cancels escrow and has the attorney refund the money before the bank determines that the check is bogus.
