Distressed Homeowners Targeted

In an article from The Sacramento Business Journal I read the scammers are at it again. They are calling homeowners  and offering to help them keep their homes by filling out an application to Keep Your Home California, and charging them as much as $900.

The thing is, Keep Your Home California, a federally funded organization, is FREE. The article in The Sacramento Business Journal says that Keep Your Home California has helped 12,000 homeowners in the State keep their homes.

If you have had experience with Keep Your home California or know someone who has, I'd like to hear from you. So many state and federal programs seem to have had little impact or success - I'd like to hear some good stories!

Hmmm... I'd be interested to hear how that works too - haven't heard of anything like that in our market yet though.

With so many people in distress, we are bound to see more scams like this. And people are desperate enough to believe these "offers to help". Keep blogging about this. The word should get out.
