Woman impersonates FBI to hide real estate fraud
A woman in Seal Beach, Orange County, California was recently indicted for trying to impersonate an FBI agent so that she can cover up a real estate fraud.
The suspect, Karen Hanover, conducted real estate seminars with pricey premiums and offered investors buy various commercial and residential real estate. She offered a money-back guarantee to her clients but she never honored them when they tried to claim this guarantee. She then created an FBI caller ID using spoofing software in order to harass the complainants and prevent them from making a complaint.
She has now been indicted on federal charges.
