Precautions to spot and avoid foreclosure scams
Stop Foreclosure Scams – Precautions to Spot & Avoid them!
Here are several tips that can help you spot and avoid being “taken” by these nasty scam artists:
1. Don’t sign any papers – have an attorney review them first.
2. Beware of any contract of sale or loan assumption where you are not formally released (which means you receive documentation from YOUR mortgage lender) from liability for your mortgage loan.
3. Always Check with an attorney and/or lawyer or your mortgage lender before entering into a “deal” that involves your home.
4. If you’re selling your house yourself to avoid foreclosure, go through the normal proper channels, using an attorney, etc.
If you suspect you have been approached by a Stop Foreclosure Fraud, you can contact your State’s Attorney General, the State Real Estate Commission, or the local District Attorney’s Consumer Fraud Unit to check out the person or “agency” to see if they have been reported.
