Foreclosure Frauds Being Exposed by Specialist
Foreclosure frauds are being exposed by David Wall of Claremont, who is an expert in such matters.
In one of the many cases he deals with he is seen sitting in his car waiting for his victim to turn up. The latter had been avoiding receiving court papers. At first he repeatedly rang the doorbell and shouted his target’s name for as long as four hours, alternating his tactic. Then he decided to pause. Thinking that the private detective had given up, the door opened and the object of his actions slid into a car. Wall too started his car giving chase.
The two cars ran through residential neighbourhoods at high speed touching 80 mph. Finally the victim lost his control and the vehicle went rolling down an edge. The man started to run and Wall threw the court papers at him saying “You are served”.
Wall handles various types of cases – from slippery defendants in law suits to indiscreet spouses. He has come out successful from many movie-like chases as well as death threats. He has been working as an investigator for long 23 years. He specializes in locating the persons wanted and their dollars.
Currently he is the head of Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (Inland Empire branch) and spends a good amount of time behind his desk rather than the steering wheel. He now focuses on financial fraud. He also has a law degree which comes of use in his multi pronged work. He gives advice to lawyers in cases of fraud in business matters. Wall also heads EP Forensic & Valuation Services based in Ontario. It is an affiliate of Eadie and Payne (accounting firm) having a second branch in Redlands.
Recently Wall spoke at a meeting of the association – the venue of the event being Sheraton Ontario Airport Hotel, on how to recover losses incurred due to fraud. He said that while the Inland Empire is hobbling out of the downturn in the real estate market there are many opportunities for fraudsters. He said, “From the consumer aspect, mortgage crisis scams, mortgage reduction or foreclosure protection scams, are the biggest things going on right now. Because of the nature of the market here, there are a lot of people that are just pushed to the very brink of losing homes and are desperate.”
Considering his expertise and focus there is a great demand for his services and experience in these times charged with foreclosure related problems.
