Queens DA Charge 4 In Mortgage Scam Involving I.D. Theft Of Dead Person

In New York City, Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown and others recently announced criminal charges against four individuals with, among other things, artificially inflating the price of a Queens house by “flipping” the property before stealing the personal identity of a dead Queens woman to fraudulently take out nearly $500,000 in mortgage loans on the property. According to the DA:

  • In this particular case, the defendants are accused of sucking hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity out of a Queens house through financial chicanery before walking away and allowing the property to fall into foreclosure.
Those charged are Seerojnie Mohan, 40, of Roslyn, Long Island, and Carolyn Dixon, 49, Doodnath Siewsanker, 48, and Ramesh Hardial, 43, all of Queens.
