Learn about scams targeted at homeowners facing foreclosure

Public broadcasting stations across Texas will air a 30-minute special this month on scams surrounding foreclosure prevention and loan modification. Scam artists are preying on homeowners who are facing foreclosure, promising to modify loans and guaranteeing to save a home from foreclosure. They charge fees up front and then disappear. Many victims lose money and their homes.

Find out how you can help homeowners recognize a scam and what to do if they are approached. See when the special is airing in your market. You can also find foreclosure-prevention resources for homeowners at KeepMyTexasHome.org.

The special was produced in cooperation with Neighborworks America and the Texas Foreclosure Prevention Task Force, of which the Texas Association of REALTORS® is a member.
