Fraud Alert - Muscogee/Harris County - Posted on 8/5/10

Two individuals posing as home buyers have been targeting Realtors® and builders in the Muscogee and Harris County areas. These individuals are associated with fraudulent activities, including having outstanding warrants in other states. The names and information being used by these individuals include Ralph Heiss, Adam Boroughs, Julie Boroughs, REO Global, REO Company, and Huntington Beach, California.
     It is uncertain what their goal is, but in the Columbus area, they signed a contract, gave earnest money, but did not close on the property, stating different reasons to different people as to why they did not close. Then they contacted a different Realtor® requesting assistance in getting the earnest money back.
     Please be wary of conducting any business with these individuals.
