Four people were arrested and a title company in Utah was searched in connection with an alleged straw buyer scheme that duped a woman who didn't understand what she was signing. Prosecutors allege that the fraudsters preyed on members of Utah's Polynesian community.
Elenoa Hosea Moala, 46; Laura Elena Solorio, 40; Haloti Moala Liavaa, 42; and Kathryn Ellen Thompson, 45; were arrested on charges ranging from communications fraud, identity fraud and pattern of unlawful activity.

Three properties are listed in the complaint but officials said it's possible there are other victims.
