New Hampshire Tenant Ripped Off In Equity Skimming Scam

The Nashua Telegraph reports on a Nashua couple who unwittingly paid $1,650 in late July to rent an apartment in a four family building to an owner who was about to lose the building to foreclosure. It wasn't until August 7 that a city official was able to confirm that Miguel D’oleo was no longer the owner of the premises and that the new owner was the foreclosing mortgage lender. Reportedly, another tenant had also paid D'oleo for August rent. For more, see Tenants live with leaks, rats, roaches.
