One scam that could happen to anyone is the “change of lender” scam. The article explains, “Lenders can sell mortgages to other financial institutions. However, both financial institutions are required to send a letter to the homeowner informing him or her about the change of lender. Confirming the existence of both letters ensures that the homeowner cannot be fooled using one of the simpler scams on record, where the scam artist claims to have purchased the mortgage.” If anyone were to mistake a crook for a real lender, their payments would be pocketed. Often, people don't realize they've been fooled until the original lender notifies them of the defaulted loan.
