We need your help in locating the following individual who may be living in Georgia who is victimizing our senior citizens in a reverse mortgage fraud.

Wanted Poster

Gia Joy Glasse-Harris, also known as Gia Harris, is currently on probation and faces up to 10 years in jail for parole violation in Decatur, Georgia. See the full poster.

If you have seen this individual or, you know of her whereabouts, please call HUD OIG investigators at (404) 425-8932. You can provide the information anonymously.

I would also like to congratulate the Mortgage Fraud Task Force for their stellar, collaborative efforts in combating fraud. These multiple agencies, including the HUD Office of Inspector General, are coordinating resources, sharing data, and working with state and local authorities to make a difference nationally and also within the Southeast region.

HUD is committed to aggressively protecting homeowners. It has recently suspended seven lenders, including Florida-based Taylor, Bean and Whitaker, and it has withdrawn FHA-approval for over 300 other lenders since last summer.

HUD and its partners on the Mortgage Fraud Task Force are more committed than ever to protecting the dreams of America's families. More Than 400 Defendants Charged for Roles in Mortgage Fraud Schemes as Part of Operation "Malicious Mortgage."

Ed Jennings, Jr.
HUD Southeast Regional Administrator
