Two Broward lawyers were arrested last week for their alleged involvement in a $750,000 scheme to defraud unwitting property owners of foreclosure surplus checks.
Rashisa Overby, 46, and Ria Sankar-Balram, 40, were arrested on Monday and face multiple counts of fraud, money laundering, grand theft, among other charges. The second defendant was released on a $57,000 bond. The first defendant, who was charged with several more counts, remains held in lieu of a $140,000 bond. It is unclear if they have acquired legal representation.
