 Beware of Foreclosure Scams.

I was chatting with a few attorneys, mortgage guys and a Fraud investigator this morning and we have all noticed some scams floating around. One big issue is the news and the predators it creates. Most lenders do not have the home affordable guidelines in place. I spoke with 4 loan Officers from different companies today and none of them have the details yet for how Uncle Sam's plan will be implemented, but we all feel we should have details with in a week or two. In the mean time BE CAREFUL!  It is strongly advised that you only speak with some one that is referred to you that actually knows what can and can not be done.

Please read the following carefully and pass it along to anyone you know.

There are many "Foreclosure Rescue" scams beginning to surface in light of the government's moves to help prevent foreclosures.

Here are some things to remember:

  1. There is never a fee to get assistance or information about the government's Making Home Affordable program.
  2. Beware of anyone who says they can "save" your home if you sign or transfer over the deed to your house.
  3. Never submit your mortgage payments to anyone other than your mortgage company without their approval.
  4. Never let anyone talk you into purposely going delinquent on your mortgage, that is never a good idea.

I know many people still charging upfront fees whether they are successful or not at negotiating anything with the lender.  That just stinks.

Hi Rob,

I am glad the word is getting out about this. I had a home owner walk into my office the other day wanting to lease a home. After speaking with him I found out that he thought had to leave his house because his was behind in his payments. He lost his job but has found another. He was getting tons of phone calls from people telling him that he could not speak with his lender and the only way he was to save his home was to give them $2,500 - $5,000. I provided him with at least a little hope. He is now going contact his lender to see if he can work something out with them and possibly do a loan modification.

It's sad that the vultures are circling those who can least afford to lose more money.  If only they can get the word that the services the scamsters offer are available for free.
