Former Pastor- $1 Million Judgment for Real Estate Fraud and more -

Mortgage and Lending with First Colorado Lending

Jeremiah Yancy appears to have used his ministerial trusting relationships for personal gain. He has lived in the Boise, Idaho area, Tucson, Arizona and Colorado Springs, Colorado. He has been called a con-man who has convinced trusting church families and friends with high FICO scores to invest in his Ponzi-type scams. It has been reported that he convinced them to take out large lines of credit or invest their own personal savings to "invest" in different investment opportunities.

There are all types out there.  No matter whom they appear to be, we as agents must keep our eyes wide open for scammers.  Thanks for the post.

Very sad for anyone in a position of influence to take advantage of others, especially a minister.

Michael, it's too bad someone in his position as a Pastor has taken advantage of his congregation. I'm sure he will get his just rewards.

It is a sad thing that you can't even trust your pastor. He will get his just rewards.
