message was exactly what our people needed to hear.
Greg
Strohm - Regional Director of Quality, Stewart Title Guaranty Company
Your personal stories
and your message captured and entertained the audiences at two of our biggest
corporate events of the year. You really drove home how seemingly
innocent rationalizations can land us in big trouble - especially those of us
entrusted with "other people's money."
Randall S. Bueter, Esq. - Real Estate Section Chair,
Arkansas State Bar Association
I thought your talk was very informative and entertaining
at this year's Arkansas State Bar Association's Annual Conference. Having
been to many a CLE convention, I could tell you really connected with the crowd
and held their interest. You may use me as a positive reference any time
you wish.
Mark Luttrell – Chairman,
I wanted to thank you for one of the most enlightening and
interesting presentations I have heard in years. You did a wonderful job
and our members had overwhelming positive feedback.

Fred Pasteur - President, Middle Tennessee Chapter,
Association of Certified Fraud Examiners
It was a pleasure having you at our conference. Your
message was well received by the attendees; mainly because you not only
"talked the talk", but you've also "walked the walk."
Feel free to use our chapter as a reference for any future
speaking engagements you have.
Larry Ruder - Fraud Risk Management, Wells Fargo Home

The staff found your presentation very compelling. I still
believe this is the message our production folks need to hear about.

I wanted to send a short note to express my appreciation
for you participating in the ACFE's 17th Annual Fraud Conference in
Lisa Bryant - Program Marketing Communications, Women
Venture
Saying "thank you" to you just doesn't seem to
effectively tell you how much we at WomenVenture appreciate your taking the
time from you busy day to participate as a volunteer presenter at our Polish
Your Pitch half-day seminar. The responses from all those who
attended - guests, volunteers as well as the day's presenters - have been
overwhelmingly positive.
Chuck Abramson - Sales Manager, Coldwell Banker
Burnet Realty
The feedback we received was incredible. I've never
seen the room so quiet and attentive in any other presentation. You've
created an awareness here we probably wouldn't have achieved without you.
It really got everyone thinking and much more aware of what can happen if
you choose to ignore the red flags that you thought were someone else's
problem. I know you made a huge difference in the way agents will look at
transactions from here on out. Word of your excellent presentation is
spreading throughout our company.
Daniel C. Diaddigo - President, the Jarvis Street Group -
Co-Founder, Georgia Real Estate Fraud Coalition - Author, "The Truth
About Lies."
Jerome’s story is ripped from the pages of mortgage
loan production shops all over the country. His message is at the same
time entertaining and tragic. I recommend Jerome to any company that is
serious about stamping out mortgage fraud.
Sheri Murrah - Fannie Mae
Thank you for attending the e-Business Forum and
participating on the panel discussion, "Mortgage Fraud: The Silent
But Serious Issue". The feedback thus far has been tremendous from this
panel session and in large part that was due to you sharing your story with the
audience. Thank you again for contributing to the success of the Fannie
Mae eBusiness Forum!
John Snell - Dallas/Fort Worth Association of Mortgage
Brokers - President, Integra Mortgage
The feedback I have received was overwhelmingly positive.
When you started talking about the concurrent time lines it was so quiet you
could hear a pin drop.
Jan Grant – Executive Director - Escrow Association
of
The presentation was outstanding and received the highest
marks on the critiques from our attendees. What I personally liked about
the presentation was that it was heartfelt and personal, and I believe that
many in the audience could see themselves being drawn into a similar situation
if not vigilant and willing to stand their ground.
Christopher Spaker - President, Mortgage Bankers
Association of
All the feedback I received was very positive. I
looked around the room as you spoke and every single eye was on you the entire
time. I felt you easily could have gone another hour and still kept their
interest. I also asked my board of directors last week what they thought
and everyone who attended agreed it was well worth the time and money
investment to bring you in. In fact, we talked about bringing you back
next year sometime to speak again. That in itself is a huge testament to
your message. Thanks again for everything. You’re a true professional
and you were a real pleasure to work with. I hope to have that
opportunity again. I wish you the best in all your future endeavors.
Please feel free to use me as a reference if needed.
Deborah James - Senior Vice President, Flag Bank
The feedback I've received has been very good. Several
folks said they could have listened to you talk for two more hours. Many of us
have already read your book and really enjoyed it. Everything you say in your
book and what you had to say to our group, really caught everyone's attention.
I have been extremely pleased with our relationship over
this past year. We have had great reviews from all of our clients who
have seen you. Your presentation and story on the true life consequences
of fraud has definitely made an impact. The quality of your presentation
and your professionalism are the reasons we hope to work with you well into the
future.
Michael Palmer – Vice President, Nova Home Loans
On behalf of Nova Home Loans it was a privilege to have
you visit and share your experience with us. I did not learn what I
thought I might learn about from you; we had expectations that you would come
and teach us about the latest tricks, traps and techniques of loan fraud.
What I got instead, was a lesson in ethical values, and an appreciation
for the personal misfortune that a person experiences by making wrong choices.
You made clear to me that loan fraud is a symptom of distorted ethical
values. That lesson will still be there in my mind long after the current
trends are obsolete. You also made clear that the price paid could not
possibly compare to the potential ill gotten gain. Both more enduring
lessons, I think, than just what’s going on around us right now. The
audience empathized as they listened to you talk about the damage in your life,
I think you got through to us.
Elizabeth Emmons - Mortgage Banker,
Thank you for telling your story. It really hit home
with a lot of us. You have a lot of dignity for being able to tell what
you did and I think you should be commended.
Peter Spalthoff – Executive Director,
Jerome, it was a real pleasure meeting you. Your
presentation put the human touch on the perils of "fraud" in our
industry. Your experiences are those that I am sure many of our Brokers today
still come across. I hope that your message about the cost of fraud committed
by a Broker is far greater than the rewards and that at least those in your
audience who heard you can now relate to those costs. Thanks again.
William L. Armstrong, III -
Great job last week at the CMLA luncheon. We've heard
nothing but positive feedback.
Carl Jones - President, Minneapolis-University Rotary Club
I just wanted to add my personal thank you for addressing
the University Rotary Club. Our members truly enjoyed hearing about your
experiences and how each of us needs to keep a very strong eye on the ethics of
our work and relationships. Certainly your remarks tie very nicely to a
Rotary Cornerstone called the
John B. Norman – Executive Director/General Counsel,
Thank you for attending our conference Sept. 8th. It
was great to have you. Your presentation was riveting. You painted
a very vivid picture that will stay with me & every attendee for a long
time. Your talk is of immense worth to our industry. Thank you.
Rick and Shelly Akatyszewski - SRA Mortgage (ComUnity
Branch of
Thanks so much for the training in Vegas. You are a
good man. We need more people like you in this world to share the info
you do so that we all understand and know why not to do the things we
shouldn't. We loved your definition of fraud. Any chance you could
e-mail it back to us? And again thanks for all you give.
Jayson A. Stebbins - Sr. Vice President, ComUnity Lending,
Inc.
I want to say Thank You on behalf of Leadership here at
ComUnity Lending and on behalf of our Retail Support Team. You were a
wonderful addition to our meeting, and I believe your story will help us be a
better company. Your presentation was fluid, on point, and pitch perfect.
We are so glad we called and invited you into our Annual Meeting. Thank
you so much and please be sure to include us in your "endorsement"
section or as a reference for anyone who
might like to hear you speak.
Michael J. Williams – Fannie Mae
I would like to personally thank you for speaking at the
2004 Fannie Mae e-Business Forum. Thanks to your participation, our
program this year was diverse in subject matter and rich in content. The
feedback we have received so far has been extremely positive and complimentary.
I believe this was the best Forum ever. Thank you again for making
this year's event a success and I look forward to seeing you at the next
eBusiness Forum. Thank you, again, for making this year’s event a success
and I look forward to seeing you at the next e-Business Forum.
Beverly Wender – Interfirst – ABNAMRO
Your seminar was very well received and most were quite
amazed by your compelling story. The message is clear and my team will
communicate it out to our industry. We appreciate what you are doing to
help "clean up" this industry and spread the word.
Terry W. Clemens - Executive Director and Susan Cataldo -
NCRA Conference Chairperson, National Credit Reporting Association
On behalf of NCRA's board of directors, staff and members,
we wish to extend a sincere "Thank You" and our deepest appreciation
for your presentation at our recent 12th Annual National Conference at the Omni
Tucson National Golf Resort & Spa. Your message on Mortgage Fraud was
well received and your input was valuable to our members. Thank you again
for speaking to the members of the National Credit Reporting Association.
Deborah Rose Allaben – Account Executive, United Guaranty
Residential Ins. Company, Member –
Jerome gave a great testimonial. Most of the
audience was management and everyone felt [that] every loan officer should hear
him speak. His presentation along with some of our Fraud information
would be very powerful. I would definitely recommend it to National
Accounts for National Sales meetings.
Michelle Heine – Excel Title
I thought that the presentation brought home the reality
of turning a blind eye to unethical business practice. Our staff thought
that the presentation was both informative and fascinating. Our staff also said
that they could have listened to you all day.
Kathy Cheney – MN Department of Revenue, Withholding
Division
I was looking for speakers for our off-site training
meeting. I heard about Jerome through a friend who had just attended one
of Jerome's presentations on Fraud. Jerome sounded like a very
interesting speaker and the topic was intriguing. So, I went for it even
though I knew the cost may be well over budget. Jerome's presentation was
humorous, real, and a bit scary to think something like this could possibly
happen to anyone.
