Phony Eviction Attempt On DFW-Area Tenant Renting Home In Foreclosure Fails

In Rockwall, Texas, WFAA-TV Channel 8 reports:

• [O]ne renter who recently got a foreclosure notice may have been the victim of a hoax. Carolyn Williams has been renting a home in the Turtle Cove neighborhood in Rockwall for the last three months. Two weeks ago, she got a knock on the door. "They came by to tell us the house was being foreclosed on and that we had to leave," she said. "They identified themselves as 'the constable.'" It turns out, the constable for this area, John Cullins, never went to her door. "I have no eviction and I am the only one in this precinct who would have served it," he said.

***

• The house went into foreclosure because the owner failed to pay his home owners association dues. But the HOA's attorney told News 8, it has not filed an eviction notice.
