Federal Employee and Three Others Charged in $500,000 Mortgage Scheme

Summary

---

According to the complaint, when [Carolyn Dixon] began to default on the mortgage payments and ruin Mr. [Balkarran Singh]'s credit, Mr. Singh repeatedly asked Dixon to transfer the property out of his name. Thereafter, in May 2006, Dixon allegedly advised Mr. Singh that she had a buyer for the house. On May 25, 2006, Mr. Singh met Dixon and co-defendant [Mohan] at a reality office, located at 122-01 Liberty Avenue in Queens, at which time the 156th Street property was transferred from Mr. Singh's name to that of Marleen Manragh, who was not present at the closing. A subsequent examination of the business records of Fremont Investment and Loan indicated that two mortgages had been secured in the name of Marleen Manragh for $445,000 and that the records included a forged New Jersey driver's license in Ms. Manragh name, an employment verification letter from co-defendant Siewsankar at A-1 Cleaning and a residency verification letter from co-defendant [Ramesh Hardial]. In fact, Ms. Manragh had died on April 30, 2006, had never been employed by A-1 Cleaning, nor had she ever rented property from Hardial - Mohan's brother.
