Washington State Assistant AG Has Eye On Foreclosure Rescue Fraud

The News Tribune in Tacoma, Washington has a story on Washington State Assistant Attorney General Dave Huey and his work in the AG's Consumer Protection Division. When asked about the type of lending fraud he is seeing today in the state, he said:
  • "We’ve sort of shifted our focus to foreclosure rescue fraud, because that’s where con artists can make a living. They don’t have the inflated values anymore. So now if you’re looking to make your fortune in real estate, you have to find new ways to exploit people, and we’re seeing that in foreclosure rescue scams."
