Seek Help, Don't Wait for It to Find You

A woman in Virginia was swindled out of her home by a man who claimed to have been sent by God. He showed up on her doorstep to pray with her and said that he’d save her home from foreclosure. He instructed the woman to sign some papers and not knowing any better, she signed. This scam artist cheated her out of her home and reaped the benefits of this deception.

Stories like this are very upsetting. There are always people who are willing to find a way to make a profit from a bad situation. In some cases like this, the swindler is telling a partial truth. There are people who have unknowingly signed papers that did actually prevent their homes from going into foreclosure…these papers have also made some renters in their own homes and they end up paying exorbitant rent to the scam artists who now own the house. Other people sign documents they don’t understand and end up losing their homes altogether.

If you are in trouble or threatened by foreclosure, please seek the help of someone reputable. If someone knocks on your door, it is likely that they are done some digging and scouted you out, believing you to be at risk. You are much better off if you go out and get help.
