Foreclosure Rescue Scams Growing

KOMO-TV Channel 4 in Seattle, Washington reports on the growing problem of foreclosure rescue scams in Washington. The types of scams are described in the report. Interviewed for the story is Seattle-area attorney Melissa Huelsman, who reportedly is swamped with victims of real estate foreclosure scams, with her office file cabinets beiing filled with case upon case of local homeowners tricked out of their homes by people claiming to help them keep their homes. She reports that she has clients in foreclosure receiving 20 to 30 pieces of mail each day from people and companies marketing their services to them.
