Avoiding Foreclosure Scams

  • When you fall behind on payments, scammers may show up fast calling, texting, or knocking on your door.

  • They sound friendly and claim they can “save your home” or “stop the sale immediately,” but their goal is usually to take your money or your house.

  • Knowing how to spot these scams can protect your home and keep you from losing thousands of dollars.

Common Foreclosure Scams

  • 1. “Pay Us Upfront — We’ll Save Your Home.”

    Scammers promise to stop your foreclosure if you pay a fee. Once you send money, they disappear or make things worse.

  • 2. “Sign Your House Over — We’ll Handle It.”

    They say they’ll work things out with your lender while the home stays in your name. But after you sign over the deed, they own it — and you’re left with the debt.

  • 3. “We’re Working with the Bank or Government.”

    Scammers often pretend to be from your lender, HUD, or a “federal program.” They use official-looking logos and phone numbers to trick you.

  • 4. “We’ll Handle the Paperwork — Stop Talking to Your Bank.”

    They tell you to avoid your lender while they “negotiate” for you. In reality, they want to keep you in the dark while deadlines pass.

  • 5. “Guaranteed to Stop Foreclosure.”

    No one can guarantee that. Scammers use this phrase to sound confident and rush you into paying fast.

How to Protect Yourself

  • Don’t pay upfront. Real foreclosure help doesn’t charge you first.

  • Only use licensed professionals. Check credentials for attorneys, lenders, and counselors.

  • Work through trusted channels. Call your lender, a HUD-approved counselor, or a verified title company.

  • Read before you sign. Don’t sign anything you don’t understand.

  • Watch out for pressure. Scammers push urgency; real help gives you time to decide
