The piece highlights how bankers, and others engaged with their local communities, can use the toolkit the Center has created to assist with outreach to local residents that might be falling behind in their mortgage payments.

Report on Mortgage Fraud

Chris Snowbeck from the Pioneer Press has written an article about the Mortgage Asset Research Institute's (MARI) 11th annual report on Mortgage Fraud to the Mortgage Banker's Association.

The article can be viewed here.

The Complete MARI report can be viewed in PDF format here.

The report describes the three most prevelant mortgage-related fraud schemes that have emerged in the last year. Here at the Center, we've already written extensively about the #1 new scam: Foreclosure Rescues. (Here, Here and Here).
