Many barristers of foreclosure schemes reach out to potential victims by a spread of means using the internet, the telephone, and direct mailings. Some barristers go door-to-door or approach house owners at events related to home preservation. The information the Federal Reserve is providing, which is part of its “5 Tips” series, is structured to give purchasers the basic info they need to recognize and avoid foreclosure avoidance scams. Clients are encouraged to test the certifications of advisors and to avoid working with someone that collects a fee before providing any services or accepts payment only by assistant’s check or wire transfer. Clients should not pay for a service without knowing exactly what they are buying.
Avoiding foreclosure can’t be guaranteed–regardless of the circumstances. Working with a legitimate counselor can increase the probabilities of keeping a home, but clients should be cautious of people who tell them it is a dead cert. Details of the transaction, together with any promises, should be provided up front and in writing.
