avoiding foreclosure scams

What If You Fall Victim?

If you believe you already are a victim of a foreclosure prevention scam, what should you do?

  1. Tell your local bank branch to put a flag on your checking account.
  2. Contact your state Attorney General’s office.
  3. Call and ask your lender to cancel your mortgage.

“B” is correct. The National Association of Attorneys General has a state-by-state Attorney General contact location map on its homepage. Also contact the FTC and the Better Business Bureau to file complaints against the company that scammed you.
