Guide to Real Estate Fraud

Foreclosure Rescue Scam

You’ve probably seen advertisements for foreclosure rescue specialists claiming that they can save your home and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. They might appear to be totally sympathetic, but they’re only there to get the title away from you. So-called foreclosure rescue specialists will ask you to sign a warranty deed, quitclaim deed, grant deed, or other sorts of property deeds while making promises that they will be unable to fulfill. They will also claim to know secrets that will stop foreclosure. Remember – you are capable of avoiding foreclosure yourself, and you definitely don’t need a third party to do that for you.
If you come across any of these websites or companies, report them to the FBI, the Attorney General, or your state’s licensing department for real estate.
