Florida’s Foreclosure Rescue Scam Prevention Act should protect the thousands of Floridians who get suckered into paying thousands of dollars with the promise that magic spells, potions and legal strategies can solve their foreclosure problems.
The sales pitches are so compelling, but if you’re getting a pitch, you’re getting scammed. You can ignore the loan audits and the modification scams and steer clear of Mass Joinder and other class action promises….they are a dead end.
The Florida Bar and Florida’s Attorney General could be doing something about all of this, but they choose not to….this is what is most disturbing. I gave up on reporting any of this stuff a long, long time ago. I dedicated untold hours of time over years and saw absolutely no return for my efforts to protect consumers. I set up the scammers. I got emails and phone numbers and crystal clear promises from the scamsters and delivered all this to those that should protect consumers but nothing happened.
Please read the following story in the St. Petersburg Times:
Ramba, 40, has joined forces with a California attorney and opened offices in Pinellas Park and Boca Raton where employees ask struggling homeowners to join an innovative legal action against their lenders.
Prospective plaintiffs are told that nearly 6,000 people have joined the effort and six lawsuits have been filed so far.
But there are several hitches.
It costs $5,000 to join. Winning a quick settlement is a long shot. Efforts to solicit plaintiffs through cold calls, unapproved mail pieces and commissioned workers also may violate Florida Bar rules, according to experts in legal ethics.
