Changing Lives One House at a Time!
Just bought a new home? Congrats! 🏡 But be aware—home sales are public record, and scammers are quick to pounce. They might send you official-looking mail that appears to be from your mortgage company, but it's a scam!
Scammers want their solicitations to look like they're from your mortgage company because it increases the likelihood that you'll trust the message and take action. New homeowners are more likely to pay attention to correspondence that appears to be from their mortgage lender or insurance company, especially if it concerns payments, account updates, or important documents. By mimicking a legitimate company, scammers exploit that trust, hoping you'll provide personal information, make a payment, or even transfer funds to them, thinking it's part of your regular mortgage obligations.
No matter how official a document looks, always verify directly with your lender or insurance agent before providing personal information, making a payment, or transferring funds. Stay safe and protect your investment!
