In response to reports of increasing mortgage fraud, C.A.R. has created public service announcements (PSAs) to educate homeowners and warn consumers about the risks of being scammed by third parties, such as those that promise loan modifications for an up-front fee, which is often illegal.

The PSAs, offered in English, Spanish, Cantonese, and Mandarin, will air on cable and local television stations throughout California over the next few months.

To watch the PSAs or share them with clients, please visit: http://www.car.org/aboutus/forconsumers/loanfraud/
