San Diego DA Seeks Realtor Help In Fight Against Loan Modification Scams

In San Diego, California, the San Diego Union Tribune reports:

• San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis [last week] urged members of the San Diego Association of Realtors to help track down and prosecute cases of real estate fraud. Foreclosure consulting and loan modification scams are rising as distressed borrowers struggle to keep their homes, Dumanis said during the Realtor group's annual expo and trade show. About 1,500 people attended the one-day event at the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center. “We can't do it all,” Dumanis told a group of about 70 attendees during a 90-minute training session on real estate scams. “You are our eyes and ears. We have gotten many of our tips from real estate agents and escrow agents.”
