A new scam is targeting financially strapped homeowners across the
country. So-called specialized law firms are sending invitations to
homeowners, urging them to participate in "mass joinder" lawsuits
against their mortgage lenders as a way to get favorable loan
modifications and stop foreclosure.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection
agency, cautions that the firms involved in this scam promise relief,
but generally don't deliver. In fact, many of the firms fail to use
qualified attorneys or pursue homeowners's cases, and often leave their
clients in worse financial shape than before.
