California Real Estate Agent Gets 90 Days After Admitting To Forging Unwitting Victim's Name On $900K+ In Loan Documents To Purchase Home

In San Bernardino, California, the Contra Costa Times reports:

• A Chino Hills real estate agent was sentenced to 90 days in jail [last week] after pleading guilty to forging more than $900,000 in loan documents. Anita Mendoza, 44, was accused of forging another person's signature to obtain the loans, which she used to purchase a home in Chino Hills in 2006. In addition to the jail time - which Mendoza can serve on weekends - the Realtor was placed on three years' probation Friday in San Bernardino Superior Court and ordered to attend a counseling program. [...] She will be required to pay back $180,000 lost by a mortgage company victimized in her scheme, Deputy District Attorney Vance Welch said last month. When Mendoza was interviewed by investigators last month, she confessed to forging loan documents to purchase her home.
