MORTGAGE SCAM ON NBC NIGHTLY NEWS!

Weddingpic_2 I'm so relieved to see this story making national news!!

It seems that Joy Jackson, aka "Night Rider" to all her friends back at the strip club, was recently featured on MSNBC Nightly News (video link).

For those of you who need a quick update on the back story, click here.

In addition, there seems to be a growing number of people interest in her and her partners current whereabouts. Funny how people frown upon $800,000 weddings when the bride may have cheated them out of their home equity. I highly doubt her proceeds as an, ahem, "entertainer" managed to pay for Ms. Patti LaBelle's presence there! (I also heard she gave away a Porsche, and a house to her wedding guests, among other things)

At any rate, NBC has broadcast the story now, and there is even a dedicated website, run by a law firm, dedicated to this series of events. I highly recommend you check it out, and if you happen to have any useful information about the case, they'd love to hear from you!

As an aside to the MSNBC story, here's a link to a site MSNBC posted about avoiding foreclosure scams. It's a good read, especially if you're worried about possibly being involved in one!

I'll post more as I hear it, I'm really hoping that people that were cheated will come out of this alright!

What a bizarre story! How many people were scammed? This is crazy!!

Geez...If criminals could just use their creativity for good, this would be a much better world...I guess it's not as profitable.

They just can't lay low with the money, can they? This is how they all get busted in the end.

It looks like at least 400 people were scammed this way.  It seems they are having a hard time finding Joy Jackson and Kurt Fordham, rumors are claiming that they left the country.
