Oy, vey.
That's out of control.
But I guess you need to be careful when you try to scam people these days.
Everybody has their boiling point.
Konnie - To work in our current market is like walking thru a mine-field. When working with loan mods and short sales a practitioner must remember that it is a very emotional transaction. People are in desperate situations and their lives have been altered almost to the point of No return.
Even a CDPE is not guaranteed s successful outcome while assisting many of these troublesome cases.
Konnie -
Thanks for the post. I was not aware of the designation you mentioned. I'll keep it in mind.
That's a story that I missed. Either that or our local paper, which is losing advertisers and pages daily, didn't have room to publish it.
I saw that in the online edition of the Union-Tribune. Truly frightening what some people will do.
Holy Smokes! I just posted about a Loan Mod company here being busted by the attorney general. I can see how someone could snap! Thanks for visiting my blog.
Konnie,
Not that I think it's alright to torture people but maybe this will send a message to scammers. All of us need to be careful in these situations, they are emotionally charged and people can react very differently than their usual in these stressful situations.
