WATCH OUT FOR FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS

If you are facing a foreclosure, watch out for foreclosure rescue scams. As soon as your foreclosure case is filed, you might receive many letters, emails, phone calls and advertisements from companies offering to help avoid foreclosure. Although some of the advertising may be from legitimate foreclosure defense law firms, there are a lot of scam companies out there that pray on homeowners. These scam operators might make big promises to refinance or make the foreclosure disappear with a simple bankruptcy filing, but in reality these operators just want to collect a high up-front fee then not perform any substantial work.

What Should I Look Out For?

Look out for the following red flags when you are looking for foreclosure help:

  • Company or individual calls itself a “mortgage consultant,” “mortgage rescue service,” or something similar -- notably excluding any reference to law firm, legal services, or attorney
  • Charges very high fees before provides any services
  • Company or individual is located out of state and/or unwilling to meet in person
  • Instructs homeowner to make home mortgage payments directly to the company or individual
  • Instructs homeowner to transfer property deed/title to the company or individual
