SCAMS & SHAMS

I was looking around the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) website this morning, and found this flier on Foreclosure/Short Sale Scams. Unfortunately, because of the vast number of distressed properties here in Southern California, there are more scam artists popping up every day. Before you do anything with a solicitation , I strongly encourage you to call your lender directly. They are the ones making the decisions on the money they lent. You don't need to pay someone else to negotiate for you. At best, you'll spend money you didn't need to in getting the same result. And you could end up spending a LOT of money on nothing at all.
