Global Financial Management Dr. Ashton, Karen James Real Estate Purchase Scam New York, New York
As with the person in report 601775, I am a real estate attorney who was recently contacted by "Dr. Ashton." I was sent a counterfeit check for $725K, from Karen James at Global Financial Management, which was odd since he was looking at a house for less than half that amount. The check supposedly came from Chase, but had no watermark and could not be verified through Chase. As pointed out in the report mentioned above, 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.
