   A Beverly Hills businesswoman who allegedly tried to grift Los Angelenos   
   out of hundreds of millions of dollars has been evicted by cops.   
      
   Rita Ortiz is accused of going on a campaign of terror across the city   
   by filing dozens of legal claims totaling $570 million against   
   homeowners.   
      
   She is said to have sent 35 liens – a form of legal hold against a   
   property by unpaid laborers – against her victims, meaning they could   
   not sell.   
      
   But Los Angeles sheriff’s deputies on Wednesday could be seen kicking   
   Ortiz out of a home in Westwood in a dramatic raid that left her   
   screaming in the street.   
      
   Footage showed her rummaging in the trunk of her white Mercedes for   
   paperwork after cops locked her out of the Glendon Avenue address.   
      
   She claimed she had not been given a notice of the action and insisted   
   she had to be allowed to retrieve her personal belongings.   
      
   But one deputy stood firm, saying: “I am not going to let you in. You   
   are out.” Ortiz had also filed seven liens against the three-bedroom   
   property she was removed from, ABC7 reported.   
      
   Last week one of the homeowners stung by Ortiz spoke out, revealing she   
   had suddenly discovered a secret bill for over $100 million.   
      
   Marjorie Josaphat said consulting firm Ortiz Consulting LLC tried to   
   claim the staggering sum over her property on Benedict Canyon Drive for   
   various work undertaken over the last 10 years.   
      
   But Josaphat claimed she had not heard of them, never met its founder   
   Rita Ortiz and had only bought the house last year when it was in need   
   of urgent repair.   
      
   Others on the street have also been stung by the company, with her   
   neighbors Mary Tosky and Andrea Knowles both being asked for $24 million   
   each.   
      
   Josaphat said she bought the three-bedroom, 1,400-square-foot home in a   
   poor state and did a full renovation before she planned to sell it three   
   weeks ago.   
      
   But she discovered she had two mechanics liens – a legal hold against a   
   property by unpaid laborers – totaling $48 million for supposed   
   “cleaning services” and “business consulting.”   
      
   Another one was later filed for $98 million claiming payment for “10   
   contracts” and “80 agreements,” legal filings show.   
      
   Josaphat told ABC7: “I don’t know who Rita Ortiz is. This place was   
   abandoned. There’s nothing to clean. If she did a job of $24 million,   
   then she owes me money because this place was really a mess.”   
      
   Tosky, who lives next door, was also hit with two liens from Ortiz   
   totaling over $24 million for alleged “cleaning services, labor and   
   materials.”   
      
   She denies ever working with Ortiz and said she only ever met her once   
   when she was sued by her in a small claims court, branding the latest   
   claims “a joke.”   
      
   Meanwhile Knowles, another neighbor, was dragged into a $24 million   
   fight over supposed “cleaning service and equipment” fees from Ortiz.   
      
   She said: “I can tell you that I know how much I pay someone to clean my   
   house and it’s not $25 million.”   
      
   Ortiz Consulting LLC is listed as being run by “life coach” Rita and has   
   filed 35 mechanics liens across the city since 2023 – adding up to $570   
   million.   
      
   On Benedict Canyon Drive alone she has filed 10 claims against six homes   
   for $317 million over supposed unpaid labor costs.   
      
   The fallout appeared to start in 2020 when Ortiz sued Tosky and Knowles   
   claiming they “mislead the LAPD” over her claims she owned the house   
   that now belongs to Josaphat.   
      
   The lawsuit was quickly dismissed, but Tosky and Knowles claim the   
   recent spate of mechanics liens are Ortiz enacting twisted revenge.   
      
   In a rambling statement, Ortiz told ABC7: “For all Benedict Canyon Dr.   
   the Neighbors stole my property when I have agreement with the bank.   
      
   “I cleaning this property for around 10 years working for this property   
   for over 10 years, they neighbors Benedict Canyon Dr. destroyed my   
   property several times.”   
      
   She continued: “Because the neighbors knows I cleaned for years this   
   property, the committed fraud against me.”   
      
   She added: “I have Business and projects with the owners, I did work for   
   them with protects over 10 years, after hard work the owners   
   discriminated me did not paid me.”   
      
   Mechanics liens are easy to file at the county recorder’s office and   
   effectively paralyzes a homeowner from selling for 90 days, until the   
   person who filed it lifts it or until the case is dismissed by a court.   
      
   Even if the information on the lien is wrong, it cannot be tossed out   
   before it is seen by a judge due to California Civil Code.   
      
   Attorney Bruce Rudman was staggered by the Ortiz case, admitting: “I’ve   
   never seen anything like this.”   
      
   David Beitchman, who represented a homeowner against Ortiz, said   
   California state law needs to change to stop mechanics liens being filed   
   so easily.   
      
   The LAPD and the Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed they are   
   looking into the claims against Ortiz. The California Post reached out   
   to Ortiz for further comment.

   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
