Nine people arrested for mortgage scam

November 19, 2008 01:25PM

Nine people, including a Brooklyn court official, were indicted yesterday in a $1.4 million mortgage fraud scheme. The con artists allegedly used fake identification to buy and sell two Queens properties and one Brooklyn property, and take out mortgages on the homes, authorities said. The victims, whose identities were stolen, are now facing foreclosure and are fighting off banks over the mortgages taken out in their names.
