SAN FRANCISCO, CA -
A martial arts teacher took advantage of the trust he established with his students and lured them into complex real estate scams.

"He was a martial artist instructor. He worked with children. He developed a bond , almost a life-long bond with these people," says William Zemblidge, a U.S. Postal Inspector.

Alonzo Brown doubled as a martial arts instructor and a licensed real estate agent. Postal inspectors say he would often help clients buy their first homes, but then he would take advantage of them.

Trust your martial arts instructor. But verify.
