Michigan County Treasurers Warn Against Bail Out Scams Targeting Tax-Delinquent Property Owners

In Michigan, The Saginaw News reports:
  • County treasurers throughout the state were warning property owners not to fall for a fake foreclosure bail-out that has hit homeowners in recent months. "I don't know where it started, but there are e-mails going out (to treasurers) all over the state, and they're all saying the same thing," said Saginaw County Treasurer Marvin D. Hare. "We're concerned about it." The scammers are targeting property owners whose land is in danger of foreclosure for delinquent property taxes, Hare said. "If anyone solicits you in any way, shape or form to sign your deed and send it to them for any amount of money, don't to it," he said.
