Elvis Impersonator On The Run; Vegas I-Team Finds Records Linking Suspected Foreclosure Rent Scammer To Unwitting Tenants In 42 Homes In Foreclosure

In Las Vegas, Nevada, the KLAS-TV Channel 8 I-Team reports:

• For weeks, the I-Team has been following the case of a local Elvis impersonator renting out foreclosed homes to unsuspecting tenants. He didn't tell them his company took possession of the homes without the owners or banks' knowledge. Now Elvis Nargi isn't saying anything -- because it appears he has left town.

***

• But Nargi didn't cover his tracks -- and he left behind some pretty damaging clues. First, there's the pounds of shredded documents, including property tax receipts for multiple homes and old loan agreements. The I-Team obtained copies of rent statements for the properties Elvis didn't have a right to.

• Nargi also had a master list of properties. It includes the address, the renter and how much they pay a month and owe him through July. The I-Team identified 42 of the properties on the list. Every single one of them was going through the foreclosure process. Nargi's company records show the victimized tenants would have paid him more than $60,000 in a single month. [...] At long last... Elvis has left the building.
