| Mortgage Fraud: A Dangerous Business |
Arm yourself with information! Mortgage Fraud: A Dangerous Business addresses one of the most important issues facing the housing industry and real estate market today. Mortgage fraud is one of the fastest growing white-collar crimes in the U.S., and a direct contributor to a foreclosure rate that is at an all-time high—and rising. And while it may seem that mortgage fraud affects only those directly involved in the scams, this is not the case. Consumers pay the ultimate price with higher interest rates and fees for mortgage loans.
Industry insiders—appraisers, real estate agents, mortgage lenders, and title professionals—are often the participants in mortgage fraud scams. As an industry insider, it is your responsibility to yourself, your company, and your customers, to know what mortgage fraud is, recognize it and avoid involvement, and protect customers from becoming victims to it. |
