Tim Linford is the leader of this scam who with his girlfriend cheats investors by selling them real estate that have phony lease to purchase contracts attached to them. Additionally they sell real estate to investors who think they are buying from a builder when in fact they are buying property that is owned by these individuals.
Typically they will present to the investor a "Lease to Purchase Contract" stating this person will buy the property when in fact the name on the contract is that of a family member. Sometimes they will put a tenant in the property and even pay part of the rent to pull off the scam since the property is usually sold above market value. His girl friend is the loan broker on these deals who more often than not sells her own real estate to an unsuspecting buyer creating a huge conflict of interest. She does or has worked for a loan broaker in Sandy Utah.
Tim Linford's front company or his partners campany is called Signature Investments. He had the company put in his girlfriend's name. He is very careful to not put his name on any documents. Both he and his girlfriend are currently being investigated by Utah State Div. Of Real Estate for selling real estate without a license.
