THE NEW MEXICO ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE IS OUT WITH ANOTHER SCAM ALERT. THIS ONE IS THE "MORTGAGE PAYMENT SCAM". HOMEOWNERS ARE GETTING OFFICIAL LOOKING FORMS FROM A CALIFORNIA-BASED OPERATION THAT MAY STATE "NOTICE OF HUD RELIEF". THE INFORMATION TRIES TO CONVINCE THE HOMEOWNER TO SEND PAYMENTS TO THEM RATHER THAN TO THEIR HOME LOAN LENDER.
THE A-G'S OFFICE SAYS HOMEOWNERS SHOULD BE WARY OF ANY "THIRD-PARTY" THAT OFFERS TO MODIFY OR REDUCE MORTGAGE PAYMENTS.
