United States Homeowners May Be Losing Their Homes to Scam Artists, Warns Blue Financial
Blue Financial warns consumers to not sign over their deed to scam artists.
Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) September 16, 2006 -- In this economy, many consumers are finding themselves falling behind on their monthly obligations – including mortgage. If a consumer is having trouble paying their mortgage, there’s a chance they will be contacted by a “lender” offering to help solve their financial challenges. This person will tell the customer that he or she can find them new financing, but that they must sign their deed over to him or her first.
“What inevitably happens,” says Hal Jolley, President of Blue Financial, “is that the new financing never comes through, and the home you’ve worked so hard for now belongs to someone else. The ‘lender’ can now sell your house, or borrow money against it, and you’ve become a tenant in your own home, paying rent instead of a mortgage.”
Jolley says, "You can protect yourself from these types of scams by taking a few simple steps.
| | - Don’t sign anything if you haven’t read it thoroughly.
- If you’re being asked to sign over your deed, consult an attorney, or someone else familiar with real estate practices and laws.
- Don’t let your financial situation cloud your judgment or cause you to make rash decisions. Again, seek advice from someone knowledgeable, whom you know you can trust.
- Check references. If someone promises a “too-good-to-be-true” solution, that’s probably what it is. Ask for references from previous clients and check them out, check with the Better Business Bureau, and ask other financial institutions."
