This article, while I don't doubt has some truth to it, was written by someone who did not do much investigating. How can a seller just sign over a deed, when they're behind on their mortgage? You can't sell your house until the lienholder(s) have all been paid off. Every mortgage I've ever heard of becomes due upon sale of the house. And very few lenders will lend money to those already behind in payments and facing foreclosure. Sounds like these were some crooks, but they were only able to succeed because they preyed on STUPID people who will be poor forever no matter who helps them out, because life is hard on STUPID people.
