Disabled Michigan Woman Fighting Eviction After Being Screwed In A Sale Leaseback, Foreclosure Rescue Scam

In Sturgis, Michigan, Workers World reports the story of a disabled homeowner who is now fighting off eviction after being victimized by mortgage fraud when she attempted to save her home after she fell behind on payments due to medical expenses. From the story:
  • A bogus mortgage company, which subsequently had its license revoked, tricked Brown into signing her house over to them. She continued making what she believed were the mortgage payments.

  • Recently, after being served with eviction papers, Brown learned she had been scammed and the house was in foreclosure. She discovered she had lost her property rights and was only a tenant in her own home. She filed complaints with the FBI, police and the State Office of Financial Services.
