Preferred term

foreclosure fraud and rescue schemes  

Definition(s)

  • Foreclosure fraud and rescue schemes target homeowners who have defaulted on their mortgage or are facing foreclosure and, as a consequence, are vulnerable to schemes that offer ways to allow them to remain in their homes. The perpetrators of these frauds make aggressive overtures toward the mortgage payees, offering them a means of refinancing their existing mortgage loan or paying off their mortgage in its entirety.
