Foreclosure Defense Attorney Claims She Was Duped By A Former Employee

A Fort Lauderdale attorney says she was duped out of more than $100,000 by her former trusted accountant.

Carolyn Hochberg owns the Foreclosure Defense Law Group. She says the accountant, who worked in her office, opened his own bogus business called Foreclosure Defense Loss Mitigation Group and then opened a bank account to go along with it. Hochberg says the accountant would take checks written out to her business and deposit them into his account. Since the names of the two businesses were similar, Hochberg says bank employees never questioned it.

“If somebody at Bank of America had read the name on the check, he wouldn’t have been able to do that,” she said.

Hochberg says Bank of America took those checks for about one year. She told NBC Miami the accountant opened his own account at a branch right near her office on Commercial Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale.

Hochberg is angry at the bank, and she feels the institution has not responded appropriately.

“They’re taking no responsibility. They don’t realize their negligence. They want to pass it off on everybody,” she said.

I've installed Samsung Universal vehicle driver. And now my ml-1210 does not function and win 8 restricting me from transforming its vehicle driver to ml-2250, saying that present (not functioning) motorist is the much better one. Exactly how did you handled this?

Really interesting guide. The cost colour and multifunction
shade laser printers must have been attended to.
They're still more expensive than inkjet printers although worth the extra expenses.
