Atlanta-Area "All-Broad Fraud Squad" Battling Mortgage Fraud

The New York Times recently ran a story of three Atlanta, Georgia area women, concerned that mortgage fraud was threatening their towns, "got together to write down license plate numbers of suspicious cars in their neighborhoods, scour public documents for housing titles and deeds and seek the help of local law enforcement. At first they were ignored, written off as bored housewives. Today, the three women — Ann Fulmer, Alicia Sheppard and Julia Barrette — are helping train F.B.I. agents, speaking to lending associations across the country and lecturing college students on how to identify mortgage fraud."
