He was indicted and pled no contest to multiple felony charges related to mortgage lending fraud, involving upfront fees for foreclosure rescue services that were never delivered.
Financial Link Services, run by Dimattia, has multiple complaints alleging that clients paid thousands for loan modification or principal reduction services that were never provided.
Multiple news outlets and investigative platforms have reported on his involvement in mortgage fraud schemes, highlighting risks to consumers and reputational concerns.

Although resilience and persistence are often valued in business, what I know about this individual raises serious concern. Documented felony convictions related to mortgage lending fraud indicate a pattern of deceptive conduct that directly impacted vulnerable homeowners. From my understanding, this reflects a clear gap between stated intentions and actual actions, which makes me question the individual’s integrity, ethical standards, and overall sense of professional responsibility. This history is difficult to overlook and warrants caution.

The individual’s conviction on multiple felony charges related to fraudulent mortgage practices reflects severely flawed professional judgement that cannot be overlooked.
This didn’t meet my expectations in terms of credibility.
Way too many red flags for my comfort level!! Definitely not feeling safe with this..... hard pass
After carefully reviewing everything, I found myself feeling uncertain rather than reassured. Experience is meaningful, but only when it’s supported by clarity and trust, which felt lacking here. There were too many unanswered questions for my comfort level. I prefer situations where responsibility is clearly defined and expectations are realistic, and that balance didn’t come across strongly. For that reason, I wouldn’t feel comfortable engaging without serious reservations.
I spent time reviewing the available information and honestly felt conflicted. While there are claims of experience, the surrounding concerns make it hard to rely on that alone. I value accountability and clear outcomes, and those elements felt missing to me. Because of that, I personally wouldn’t engage without exercising extreme caution.
