MUST READ THIS !!! SALT LAKE CITY — The owner of a loan modification business with offices in Lehi and St. George was charged Monday with nine felony counts for allegedly defrauding hundreds of homeowners out of thousands of dollars. David Moffitt, 34, operated Fortified Financial, Fortified Academy and Wasatch Rent 2 Own between 2009 and 2010. According to court documents filed in U.S. District Court for Utah, Moffitt charged clients $2,500 to $3,000 to modify loans claiming to help people from losing their homes. He also promised a full refund if they were not satisfied. However, Moffitt allegedly refused to give refunds to as many as 200 eligible clients because investigators believe the money was being used to pay for personal expenses, including food, rent, entertainment and even $4,000 for his wife’s plastic surgery. Peter Anderson of Vernal lost $5,000 paid in advance on two loan modifications he hired Fortified Financial to complete in March 2010. After neither was done two months later, Anderson became suspicious when Moffitt stopped returning his calls. "I just realized I'd been duped," Anderson said. "It was just serious mistrust and him taking advantage of people." ‘I just realized I'd been duped. It was just serious mistrust and him taking advantage of people.’ –Peter Anderson ccording to a news release, accountants found that Moffitt and his wife took $124,000 in 2009 and $72,000 in 2010 from Fortified Financial and another $33,000 was transferred to Wasa
