BEWARE of Deed Scam
Unfortunately, individuals undergoing loan modifications and short sales have notice of defaults filed during the process because of non-payment (NOD). Scammers can obtain this information due to it being public record. If the home is unoccupied and approaching a notice of sale (foreclosure auction), you may fall victim to this scam. The scam artists will forge homeowners’ signatures on a Grant Deed as well as fraudulent notaries witnessing signatures. Even though these homes are encumbered with loans, the document is still recorded & filed (inside job at the county). *Just be on notice, and call if you'd like me to run title search for you (Jesse James 818-326-0945)
