Avoid Foreclosure Prevention Scams
Generally, you should beware of anyone who:
- asks you to provide personal information.
- asks you to pay a fee in exchange for a counseling service or modification of a delinquent loan. Counseling services are free.
- pressures you to sign papers immediately, or tries to convince you that they can “save” your home if you sign or transfer over the deed to your house.
