Scams continue to be a problem with many homeowners that are seeking help to stay out of foreclosure. Homeowners who haven’t begun searching are also being scammed as they face possible foreclosure. In Arizona there are many homeowners that are unable to get their loans modified by their lender which leads many scammers to call their homes hoping to find a victim.
