This “business” contacted me saying they could adjust my mortgage rate and save me money. They required I pay them by photographing a check and sending via text message. They have done absolutely nothing to help me with my mortgage and have scammed many people which have left reviews online warning others of their ways.

Type of a scam Credit Repair/Debt Relief
Was contacted for loan modification via mail. The letter was bright pink with a description of who could qualify and what my reduced mortgage payment would be. Called just to see if I could qualify. Shared a lot of personal info and case was approved immediately. Person I talked to said they had worked with the bank that serviced my mortgage recently. Called bank and they said they don’t work with any third parties to modify mortgages. Couldn’t find any records of the business other than the website, no reviews, no state registration, etc. Did research into mortgage modification scams and this seems to fit the bill. I didn’t get to the point where the scammer asked me for money, but I didn’t want to share additional personal information before I determined if the business was legit, so the discussion ended before we got to that point.
