Texas Homeowner Facing Foreclosure Falls For Upfront Fee "Rescue" Offer

(original post - 7-21-07; revised 8-17-07)
KHOU-TV (Channel 11) in Houston, Texas reports on one homeowner facing foreclosure who responded to a postcard in the mail from an entity she thought was an arm of the Federal government, but ultimately turned out to be American Housing Authority — an outfit in California offering hope, claiming it can stop foreclosures. Reportedly, she's out a $948 fee, and she's losing her house anyway.
