Loan Modification Scam Alert
Loan modification scammers can take your money and your home if you are not cautious and well-informed. Anyone can be a victim - but you do not have to be.
If you are worried about keeping your home, AVOID anyone that:
1. Asks for a FEE IN ADVANCE
2. GUARANTEES that they'll stop a foreclosure or modify a loan
3. Tells you to STOP PAYING your mortgage company and to pay them instead
