Additional indictments have been issued against two men in connection with a scheme to defraud homeowners and mortgage lenders by faking documents in legal and real estate transactions.

Allen Seymour, 50, was indicted by a grand jury on four additional counts of forgery and one count of larceny over $1,200. Seymour was previously indicted in December on other charges in connection with his alleged scheme, Attorney General Maura Healey’s office announced.

Seymour’s son Corey, 26, of Worcester, has also been indicted by a grand jury on three counts of money laundering and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. He will be arraigned in Worcester Superior Court at a later date.

In addition to the previous allegations, the AG’s Office alleges that Allen Seymour forged additional signatures of residential homeowners in Cambridge, Somerville and Brighton without their knowledge or consent and collected deposits from investors, relying on these forged real estate agreement,s totaling more $400,000. Seymour allegedly never returned those funds.

Corey Seymour allegedly helped his father to turn stolen funds into cash by depositing cashier’s checks through the accounts of third parties in March and April 2018.

Allen Seymour previously pleaded guilty and was sentenced to state prison for a similar mortgage fraud scheme in 2010.
