Expect to hear a lot more about this

(Phoenix, Ariz. – July 9, 2009)  Attorney General Terry Goddard has
filed a consumer fraud lawsuit against numerous Tucson real estate
professionals and businesses alleging a sophisticated,
multi-million-dollar real estate fraud scheme.

The lawsuit, filed in Pima County Superior Court, alleges that the
defendants engaged in a sophisticated system of fraud that led to the
filing of foreclosure notices on more than 130 homes and caused
substantial harm to investors, lenders and rent-to-own homebuyers.

“The violations alleged in this lawsuit are among the worst abuses of
vulnerable consumers that I’ve seen in my time as Attorney General.
These kinds of abusive practices have contributed to the mortgage
meltdown that now finds Arizona ranked among the top four states in the
country for foreclosures,” Goddard said. “This sort of behavior is
unconscionable.”

●       Andrew Silverstein, former Re/Max All Executives real estate
agent
●       Anthony Zandonatti, owner of AZI Rent2Own and owner of
