šŸ›‘ Don’t Fall for It: Real Estate Scam Targets Foreclosure Victims
Share page

There’s a shocking real estate scam unfolding in Arizona—and it’s targeting homeowners behind on their mortgages. 😔

According to the AZ Attorney General’s lawsuit, companies like Gazelle Investors and Magnum Financial (led by Cameron Jones and Samuel Sutton) allegedly sent scammers pretending to be from charities like “Arizona’s Helping Hands” to knock on doors after foreclosure notices were posted.

Homeowners were misled into signing shady contracts—some unknowingly transferred their property, while others had fake bankruptcies filed in their name just to delay foreclosure. 😱

Even title companies and attorneys are being accused of enabling this fraud by ignoring red flags and pushing deals through.

šŸ’¬ “This scheme relied on an entire ecosystem of supposedly legitimate businesses to put a veneer of legality on blatant consumer fraud…” – AG Kris Mayes
