FRAUDSTER ALERT... watch out for Justin Nguyen in Florida. BE CAREFUL LENDERS!!
FRAUDSTER ALERT... watch out for Justin Nguyen in Florida, stealing lenders $ for his own gambling addiction. BE CAREFUL LENDERS & BROKERS
Everyone wants to be an EMD lender or Transactional Lender…but here is a quick way to lose hundreds or MILLIONS in 1 wire!!
Thank god we sniffed this fraudster out back in October of 2023 but it could have been us. Since then we’ve had around 5 other lenders or brokers come to us to fund a portfolio deal…which we immediately recognized was this same guy!
We figured something was up and he was likely faking the end buyer and running a closing through a Title company in Florida that HE OWNS. That’s RED FLAG #1 when I was on high alert. Shortly after I could find no good info on the title company, the website looked like trash, the url was created in Reykjavík Iceland vs Florida. So that is when I immediately backed out but still did more research anyway to find more fraudelent documents, emails and phone numbers to his scam.
Yesterday we heard from my trusted friend and private lender who now is the 6th person I know who has been reached by this guy. But it got worse and now the proof we were lucky to have caught the scam before funding but others weren’t so lucky…
He’s been stealing hundreds of thousands from probably way more ppl that we even know about to most likely fund his gambling addiction while leaving lenders scrambling and most likely never see their $ again…
