Type of a scam Other
1. August 22, 2022: I had a virtual conference with Real Estate Agent, Investor, and ‘coach’ Roberta Hoskie. We discussed a variety of options for mentorship, and while I was initially more interested in her first-time homeownership programs, she was emphatic that 1 on 1 coaching would be more appropriate for me to make ‘big money’ moves, so I would have individualized guidance, and access to her directly as a mentee. The packages range anywhere from $5,000 to over $25,000 and Roberta Hoskie regularly uses her connections to public figures such as Bishop TD Jakes and Malik Yoba to lend credibility to her initiatives.
2. Late August 2022 – Early September 2022: I confirmed my interest in the coaching packages. I worked with Roberta Hoskie and her admin to get things lined up, but because I wasn’t going to be able to start util February 2023, her office informed me that the only way to ‘guarantee’ her availability, was to pay a 25% deposit of $2,500. After some back and forth around doing a singular payment of $2,500 or two payments of $1,250, I was able to reserve a slot for a 6-month real estate coaching package set to begin in February 2023— with total service charges of US $ 10,000 .
3. September 20022 and October 2022: In good faith, I paid her US $ 2,500 in two installments through Square, to ‘RH Enterprises, Inc.’, a company which she represents herself as CEO of on LinkedIn . A payment of $1,250 was debited September 17th and an additional payment of $1,250 was made in October 17th.
4. October 28, 2022: I emailed Roberta Hoskie about a few clarifying items around eligibility, (i) how debt-to-income ratio works regarding mortgage eligibility; and (ii) whether the savings should be used to pay off existing debt to enhance eligibility and qualification, or (iii) should the savings be applied to reserves. Though she did not answer the questions, she then asked for the details of the debt, my income information, and my savings amount. I promptly provided her with the required information. She never replied and vanished.
5. October to December 2022: I started having some health issues, which left me unable to continually follow-up with Roberta Hoskie. Because our package was scheduled to start in February, I decided I would wait to follow-up again after the New Year. At the time, I had no reason to suspect she had absconded, until she started to post to social media about doing ‘international real estate transactions’ in the Dominican Republic.
6. January 15th, 2023: I emailed Roberta Hoskie, after 3 months of silence, to again discuss the application of my savings towards tax and credit card debt, and the overall appropriateness of moving forward with the coaching package. At this point, I was doing independent research to get my real estate questions answered. Neither Roberta Hoskie nor her office replied. It was at this point, I reached out to a local New Haven attorney, who pulled her judiciary record and found many things, including the following:
a. Documented eviction notice served during the September/October timeframe when she ‘required’ the 25% deposit from me to secure the coaching package.
b. Multiple foreclosures of properties in the state of Connecticut (others potentially, yet unknown)
c. Multiple judiciary events with the state of Connecticut (overdue water bills, unpaid trash bills)
Counsel advised I should make a best effort to recover my losses, but that given her judiciary record, it was likely that I was being scammed, and that it had happened to others before—and I would never hear from her again.
7. January 22, 2023: I emailed Roberta Hoskie a final time, informing her that our coaching agreement was cancelled. At this point, it seemed clear to me, that Roberta Hoskie had taken the funds, perhaps with no intent to provide services at all. I formalized the cancellation of the agreement and requested a refund within a defined period of time, and this notice was sent to both her admin and her directly. She did not reply. Given her stature as a licensed realtor and a person who runs a real estate school—both of which she leverages to build her own personal brand reputation, I took the following legal measures by filing reports:
a. Connecticut Attorney General’s Office
i. Case Number: PI2300828
ii. Assistant Attorney General: Ann-Marie Degrraffendreidt, [email protected]
b. Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection
i. Case Number: Case 2023-14
ii. Real Estate Investigator: Jill Conklin, [email protected]
c. Filed a report with the FBI Cyber Crime and Cyber Fraud Unit
d. Filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission
8. February 10, 2023: after nearly 4 months of silence—Roberta Hoskie responded, with no reference to the cancellation, requesting a Zoom call for no specific reason. Unbeknownst to me at the time, while Roberta Hoskie had no intentions of replying—my understanding is that she was made aware of the open cases with the Department of Consumer Protection and the Connecticut Attorney General’s Office. I let Roberta know it was not in my interest to have undocumented communications, and redirected her to the cancellation agreement, and reminded her of the outstanding request for refund.
9. February 17, 2023: the Assistant Attorney General, Ann-Marie Degraffendreidt reaches out to Roberta Hoskie—I am not privy to their conversation. Roberta responds to my prior email from February 10th, alleging her nor her admin ever received the cancellation notice, apologizing for the delay. Allegedly, her ‘admin’ is instructed to provide a full 100% refund.
10. February 26-27, 2023: I spoke with Square,Inc/Block,Inc., the payment platform the suspect uses. After a detailed review of my invoices and an account pull, they informed me that no chargeback had taken place—and that Roberta Hoskie did not process a refund. I emailed Roberta Hoskie on February 27th letting her know, asking them to refund the charged amount, and her admin replied, simply with ‘Thank you Brian. Received’.
Square advised Roberta Hoskie’s actions violate their legal terms of service, and that local law enforcement should reach out to: [email protected], to make them aware of ongoing efforts so they can take action.
11. February 2023 – March 2023: I continued to work together with local authorities and governing bodies to do due diligence around Roberta Hoskie, with the hopes of recovering my funds, but now also, with the hopes of prosecution—as it is a financial crime, and theft by deception. I had initial conversations with legal counsel, in the event I need to retain them. Counsel advised during this time I submit a police report with the local authorities. New Haven Police Department informed me that Sergeant Hammill was over the Financial Crimes Unit, but that I would need to file locally first.
12. March 19, 2023: a formal case was filed with the Austin Police Department and accepted. A public information request was made to the Franklin, South Subunit of Austin Police Department to obtain a copy of the police report—it will take up to 10 days.
