San Diego, CA—A complaint has been filed inside a California civil court against Baltimore Ravens cornerback Anwar Phillips.
In the complaint, both Phillips and a pastor, who has yet to be named, are accused of of preying on San Diego homeowners facing foreclosure. An attorney representing the homeowners say the pair organized a scheme involving the transfer of home titles to so-called rescuers, who then took out a new mortgage and pocketed the equity.
Mike Vallee, attorney: “This group promised to save these people’s house by temporarily putting someone on the title, and they would be able to get the house back in a couple of months. What they ended up doing is stripping out somewhere between $90,000 to $120,000 of equity, quit paying the loan, and now the people are facing foreclosure, again.“
No criminal charges have been filed against Phillips or the pastor.
