Cops charge man in Lynbrook mortgage scam

A Brooklyn man has been arrested in a deal that Nassau police called an $11,000 loan-modification scam against a Lynbrook woman.

Nassau's Crimes Against Property Squad arrested Ryan Visda, 30, of 2629 E. 23 Rd., in Sheepshead Bay on Friday night on a felony charge of grand larceny, police said Monday.

Police said Visda operated National Recovery Processing from his home as a loan company and in late August had the woman, 51, sign documents for a loan modification program. Visda did not file the papers with the bank, police said, and then deposited mortgage checks from the victim into his personal business account.

Police said anyone who thinks they might be a victim of National Recovery Processing should contact the Crimes Against Property Squad.

Visda also is charged with grand larceny, possession of a forged instrument and falsifying business records, all felonies.

He is scheduled to appear Monday in First District Court in Hempstead.
