Archive note, October 2026: This post described a HUD campaign to help homeowners avoid foreclosure and spot foreclosure relief scams. The article it lists is dated April 20, 2011. For the firm's current work in this area, see foreclosure defense.

Mortgage modifications and other scams are running rampant in Miami Florida. As a homeowner facing foreclosure, you must be aware of scammers that may rear their ugly heads. Scammers are particularly fond of elderly and other people who may be at an educational or financial disadvantage.

HUD is launching this campaign to not only help homeowners avoid foreclosure but to educate them about potential scams. They will explain how to spot a foreclosure scam artist, give you the names and business information of potential scammers, give you a resource to use if you come in contact with a foreclosure scam and much more. When faced with a foreclosure in Miami, it is understandable to see homeowners getting desperate and in too many cases jump onto the bandwagon of possible mortgage modification scams. They end up not only losing their homes, but loads of money.

While foreclosure rates are down for south Florida, foreclosure and mortgage modification scams are still on the rise. We will likely see more in the coming days as the foreclosure statistics will jump once the unclogged foreclosure legal system begins to run smoothly. Until then, utilizing the information H.U.D. is offering can save you some serious heart ache.
