FDIC warns against mortgage fraud

FDIC, in their Summer 2008 newsletter, warns consumers to avoid those persons who are thieves who pretend to be mortgage lenders or loan counselors.

In order to prevent yourself from being a victim of a mortgage fraud and these types of scams, the FDIC encourages you to; "Beware of anyone who charges a large upfront fee and "guarantees" (falsely) to save your home from foreclosure."

The news report offers numbers you can call to locate certified HUD counselors.
