Charles Slat at Consumer Alert has this post: Beware foreclosure scams, which is based on an advisory from Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

A snippet:

“Foreclosure rescue con artists take advantage of vulnerable people who have fallen behind on their mortgages and may be facing foreclosure,” said Comptroller of the Currency John Dugan. “People facing difficulties with their mortgages should contact their lender – or a legitimate financial counselor – sooner rather than later Lenders are often in the best position to help by identifying options or modifying the loan, especially if the borrower is current on the loan or not seriously late on payments.”
