Talk Show Host Arrested In Mortgage Rescue Fraud Scheme

Jack Ferm, a former radio talk show host in Las Vegas, was arrested on two counts of felony theft and related charges in connection with the operation of U.S. Justice Foundation, a mortgage rescue firm. Mr. Ferm is the president and owner of U.S. Justice Foundation, a document preparation business that allegedly misled customers into believing his service would stop ongoing foreclosures on their homes without the need to retain an attorney. His company website indicates he has a participated in successful litigation against numerous large corporations. The Nevada Attorney General's office received numerous complaints about alleged misrepresentations made by Mr. Ferm, including several clients who paid thousands of dollars to the U.S. Justice Foundation with no legal documents having been prepared or filed on their behalf. In many cases, Mr. Ferm required the victims to pay a monthly charge — in addition to the original retainer.
