FORECLOSURE SCAMS
article by, Beverly Tanner - CBS News

John Colon with Neighborhood Housing Services of Birmingham says roughly 30% of the people who walk into his office have fallen victim to scam artists. He says some signs to watch for are:

1. If someone guarantees they can prevent you from facing foreclosure
2. If they ask you not to contact your lender or any non-profit organizations that deal with foreclosures
3. If they use pressure tactics to make you sign anything that you haven't had a chance to review
4. If they charge you a fee
