The human mind is remarkable, and there is much
to be learned about it. I worked with gifted people for many years, but
interestingly enough, the most elaborate, cockeyed schemes I have ever seen
conjured up were created by people who hardly had sense to master their
own language. Maybe it simply boils down to motivation... Who
knows?
Is this for real?
Recently, our good
friend Michael (a local realtor) shared his experience with Leisa and me
about an "Obama supporter" he encountered while showing homes to a
low income, working family in Pontiac, MI.. We asked him to please write it
down so we could share it with you. YOU SHOULD BE SITTING DOWN WHILE READING
THIS
As a Realtor for the
past 28 years, I thought I'd seen or heard it all... Until now.
I was showing homes in
Pontiac, MI. one afternoon recently and showed up at a home at my 4:00
PM appointment. After I woke up the homeowner, she let us in and then
proceeded to tell my buyers and me that she has already entered into a
contract to sell the home on a short-sale. (A short-sale is a sale where the
banks accepts less money than is owed on the home). After some chit-chat, she
proceeded to tell us that she and her sister (who also lived in the area) were
buying each other's homes via the short-sale process. I mentioned to her that I
thought relatives could not be involved in those transactions. She smiled and
said "We have two different last names so no one knows the
difference".
She went on to tell us
that each of them owed over 100K on their homes and were in the process of
buying each other's homes for about 10-15K cash. To top it off, they were each
receiving $3,000.00 in government provided relocation assistance at the
closing.
My buyers and I were
amazed that she was outright admitting to fraud and yet, she continued. She
began to tell us that the best part of her scheme was that because they
currently were not working that they (both) are now receiving Section 8
Vouchers. I said I thought those were for renters and she said "That's the
best part; me and my sister are going to be renting each other's homes so we
don't even have to move, and Obama is going to give us each $800.00 a month to
pay the rent!" She then picked up a picture she had framed of Obama and did
a little happy dance around her living room and while she kissed the picture
she was singing "Thank you Obama.... thank you Obama."
So here is the bottom
line... Both of these scammers got at least $80,000.00 in debt forgiven,
$3,000.00 in cash for relocation (when in fact they did not relocate) and to
boot, you and I will now be paying (through our taxes) $1,600.00 in rent for
each them each and every month.... perhaps forever!
Is it any wonder why so
many people have decided that all they have to do is VOTE for the Democrats and
they will be taken care of for life at the expense of the taxpayers? I would
not be at all surprised if they are receiving food stamps and whatever other
programs are available for anyone who is willing to lie to get assistance.
These women went from
working and paying about $900.00 each in mortgage payments to staying home and
getting paid $800.00 each per month to live in the same home they had been
living in and all they had to do was lie on a few papers. This craziness has to
stop! I'm sure this kind of fraud is going on each and every day all across the
country and no one wants to touch the subject of entitlements because they
might OFFEND someone or lose a vote or two.
By the way... she had an
almost new SUV in the driveway, three flat screen TV's and a very nice computer
set up in her living room which was furnished entirely with nice leather
furniture.
IT'S THE NEW 'AMERICAN
WAY'.....
For all of the
"do-gooder's" who voted for Obama to help the "less
fortunate".... CHEERS.....
