Attorney General Todd Rokita has filed a 29-count administrative complaint against the real estate broker license of Avon resident, Jeremy Tucker, who is alleged to have used at least 27 unauthorized signatures on mortgages and promissory notes in furtherance of a scheme to defraud investors of millions of dollars.
Jeremy Tucker falsified documents, overleveraged dilapidated properties and exploited his status as a licensed broker to gain investors’ trust, the complaint alleges. Attorney General Rokita’s office is seeking permanent revocation of Mr. Tucker’s license.
“We want to root out this kind of fraudulent misconduct wherever it occurs, and we want to hold perpetrators accountable,” Attorney General Rokita said. “It’s all part of our mission of protecting Hoosiers and upholding the rule of law.”
Attorney General Rokita thanked his team for their work on this case.
“This action represents great collaborative work from two sections within our Consumer Protection Division,” he said. “Staff from Professional Licensing Enforcement and their colleagues in the Homeowner Protection Unit have demonstrated the great value of teamwork in the arena of public service.”
Jeremy Tucker and related companies and individuals are defendants in at least two dozen civil cases filed throughout the State of Indiana in which investors claim that they were not paid back on their notes or that they were otherwise defrauded by Mr. Tucker’s property flipping scheme. Investors and businesses – like consumers – can be taken advantage of in fraudulent, unfair or abusive transactions.
Hoosiers are encouraged to contact the Office of the Indiana Attorney General about any suspected scams or scam attempts. Consumers can file a complaint by visiting indianaconsumer.com or calling 1-800-382-5516.
