Traps, Pitfalls, and Swindles How to Set Them & How to Avoid Them Foreclosure Traps, Pitfalls, and Swindles How to Set Them & How to Avoid Them Discover HOW TO STOP Mortgage and Foreclosure Fraud and Save Your Piece of The American Dream Using the Rule of Law and the American Judicial System www.FraudStoppers.org Copyright © 2019 All Rights Reserved Page 2 of 69 FRAUD STOPPERS, PMA Email: [email protected] Website: www.FraudStoppers.org READ THIS FIRST Knowledge is power. But knowledge without action is powerless! You have legal rights that you can use to gain the remedy that you deserve. However, these legal rights cannot work for you unless you have knowledge of them, and you know how to use them. “My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge…” Hosea 4:6 I have researched the foreclosure epidemic and have discovered that banks and mortgage lenders are relentlessly violating state and federal laws (and homeowner’s legal rights) in order to illegally foreclose on properties, they have no legal right to! Fortunately, there are legal remedies for homeowners struggling with foreclosure. Most mortgage loans contain legally problematic issues that can render the mortgage loan contract void. I’m just an average Joe and was reluctant to write this report; but after I discovered the truth behind the foreclosure epidemic, I knew something had to be done. This report exposes some of the inside secrets that the big banks and Wall Street Insiders do not want you to discover and can give you the power you need to fight back against mortgage and foreclosure fraud. Hopefully you will find the information useful. If you do please play it forward and share it with others, so together we can all get the legal remedy we deserve.

Unfortunately, Millions of innocent hard-working people have lost their homes to foreclosure, and millions more are in danger of the same fate. No Government Help! Government bailouts and forbearance programs have done NEXT TO NOTHING to help homeowners that are struggling with foreclosure. Mega-banks and mortgage lenders have been caught red-handed breaking state and federal laws, committing mortgage fraud, foreclosure fraud, securities fraud, bank and insurance fraud, tax evasion, swindling trillions in bailout money, and using every dirty trick in the book to profit from fraudulent illegal mortgages. Unfortunately, our Government has done little to stop the banks. So, if anything is going to be done it must be done by us. Across the country, banks are committing outrageous crimes, including illegally foreclosing on homes. Banks have even been caught stealing people’s belongings and changing the locks on the doors before a foreclosure is even filed! Elderly homeowners are tricked into foreclosure. Consumer Digest reported in March 2011 about two elderly homeowners in Wood River, IL who were hoodwinked by their mortgage servicer into foreclosure. Reportedly after spending $350 for an unexpected furnace repair, they realized they didn’t have enough money to make their monthly mortgage payment; which they had been paying (on time) for nearly 25 years. Page 5 of 69 FRAUD STOPPERS, PMA Email: [email protected] Website: www.FraudStoppers.org So, they did what any responsible person would do, and they called their mortgage servicer, PNC Mortgage, to give them a “heads up” and ask for a little leniency. According to the homeowner’s attorney, PNC Mortgage would modify the terms of their loan on one condition: that they stopped making their monthly payments. Trusting their mortgage company, they did what they were told to do and applied for a loan modification. Only to be rewarded with PNC filing a foreclosure on them. That’s right, with over 25 years of equity in their home, their greedy mortgage company couldn’t wait to foreclose on them and sell the property for top dollar. Bank of America tries to foreclose on a home paid for in cash, with NO mortgage on it: A local news agency in Florida reported on this case where Bank of American tried to foreclose on a property that never even had a mortgage on it. The property was purchased in cash, but that did not stop Bank of America from trying to foreclose on the property. Fortunately, the homeowners hired a lawyer and were able to save their home from this illegal foreclosure attempt. With a court order in hand the homeowner’s attorney showed up to the local Bank of America branch accompanied by Sheriff Deputies and a moving company to foreclose on the bank. After the BOA branch manager realized that the Sheriff Deputies were going to allow the moving company to remove everything out of the bank (including the cash in the drawers) he called Bank of America’s corporate offices and quickly had the issue resolved. It’s amazing what can happen when you overturn the tables on these Money-Changers! Charlie and Maria also paid for their home in cash -- and they also got foreclosed on: Charlie and Maria Cardoso paid for their future Florida retirement home with cash in 2005. Page 6 of 69 FRAUD STOPPERS, PMA Email: [email protected] Website: www.FraudStoppers.org The couple, who still lives in Massachusetts, had their home foreclosed on by Bank of America five years later this past February... but the bank had the wrong house. The tenant renting the house from the Cardoso’s called the couple last July when three men showed up to clean out the house and change the locks. Charlie Cardoso talked to the Bank of America real estate agent who said he would tell the bank that they had the wrong house. But a month later a landscaper hired by Bank of America showed up to mow the lawn, causing the tenant to get worried and move before Christmas. It gets worse. In January the bank put a lock box on the front door. When Charlie Cardoso drove down to Florida to convince the bank they had the incorrect address on the foreclosure documents, he missed his son's homecoming from Iraq. The couple had kept photos, clothes, tools and other items at the home. Everything had been removed and was presumably lost, they say. The Cardoso’s have filed a suit against Bank of America for $500,000 and charging the company with defamation and libel. Dan Smith got tricked by a teaser rate: Dan Smith is a 33-year-old electrician living in Oakview, California. He devised a carefully thought out budget and decided he could pay $2,700 monthly payment on a home. He bought a home for his family and signed all the documents thinking everything was fine. Then the third month he received a mortgage bill for $3,600. They thought it was a mistake and they called up their broker, who said 'Didn't I tell you that was a teaser rate?' Smith said if he had known the mortgage payment was going to be that much, he never would have bought the house. He lost his home and was left with "huge debt and a horrible credit score." Page 7 of 69 FRAUD STOPPERS, PMA Email: [email protected] Website: www.FraudStoppers.org Anna Ramirez was foreclosed on by mistake: Florida resident Anna Ramirez came home last year to find her belongings strewn across her yard, after JPMorgan Chase held an auction on her home. Initially, the WSJ reported that the incident was due to a mistake in the clerk's office and a Chase spokesman was investigating the situation. But the Journal later updated the story saying Ramirez had not paid her mortgage in some time, but court clerical errors led to her eviction. This complicated story proves just how inept our banks' reporting keeping processes are. Active duty Navy Officer was illegally foreclosed on and evicted on Memorial Day: Mr. Worrell, an active duty Naval Officer from Florida, was illegally foreclosed on by Emigrant Bank while he was deployed overseas, and while he was in an active bankruptcy. Emigrant Bank violated two federal laws when they illegally foreclosed on Mr. Worrell. Then they evicted Mr. Worrell from his home on Memorial Day, while he was in his Navy Uniform. Serendipitously the local Channel 12 News team was on his block filming the Memorial Day parade and caught the illegal eviction on camera. The reporter told Mr. Worrell Channel 12 News would air his story all weekend long. Unfortunately, after airing the story only once, Channel 12 News received a call from the bank and quickly canned the story. How can instances of mortgage and foreclosure fraud like these be happening? To understand how and why stories like these can be happening all over America, you first must understand the difference between common law mortgage loan contracts and table funded securitized mortgage loan contracts. But before we discuss that, there are some common pitfalls and traps to be aware of.

  • The Global Financial Crisis of 2008: the Role of Greed, Fear, and Oligarchs Cate Reavis
    09-093 Rev. March 16, 2012 The Global Financial Crisis of 2008: The Role of Greed, Fear, and Oligarchs Cate Reavis Free enterprise is always the right answer. The problem with it is that it ignores the human element. It does not take into account the complexities of human behavior.1 – Andrew W. Lo, Professor of Finance, MIT Sloan School of Management; Director, MIT Laboratory of Financial Engineering The problem in the financial sector today is not that a given firm might have enough market share to influence prices; it is that one firm or a small set of interconnected firms, by failing, can bring down the economy.2 – Simon Johnson, Professor of Entrepreneurship, MIT Sloan School of Management; Former Chief Economist, International Monetary Fund On October 9, 2007, the Dow Jones Industrial Average set a record by closing at 14,047. One year later, the Dow was just above 8,000, after dropping 21% in the first nine days of October 2008. Major stock markets in other countries had plunged alongside the Dow. Credit markets were nearing paralysis. Companies began to lay off workers in droves and were forced to put off capital investments. Individual consumers were being denied loans for mortgages and college tuition. After the nine-day U.S. stock market plunge, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had some sobering words: “Intensifying solvency concerns about a number of the largest U.S.-based and European financial institutions have pushed the global financial system to the brink of systemic meltdown.”3 1 Interview with the case writer, April 10, 2009.

  • The Giant Pool of Money
    This American Life Episode Transcript Program #355 The Giant Pool of Money [Ambient sound of piano playing and crowd murmur] Ira Glass: So Adam, where are we? Adam Davidson: I recorded this at the Ritz Carlton in lower Manhattan. It’s a black tie dinner, just a few weeks ago. Ira Glass: And you, by the way, are NPR’s International Business and Economics correspondent. Adam Davidson: That’s right. I was there for my job. They’re giving out awards for all these financial securities, including the one that nearly brought down the global financial system. You know, the whole sub prime mortgage crisis. Jim Finkel: This guy is a legend. He’s a granddaddy of our industry. Adam Davidson: I’m sitting at this dinner with Jim Finkel. He’s kind of nervous because he’s up for CDO of the Year for the CDO he created, Monterrey. Now, the CDO, that’s what we’re talking about, that’s the financial instrument that was central to this global credit crisis we’re in. Ira Glass: And they’re giving awards for this? These guys are giving each other awards for doing that? Adam Davidson: Let me just say, they’re aware that there’s a certain irony, giving awards to the instrument that almost destroyed the world’s economy. They did consider canceling this year but it’s been a really tough year, it’s been really gloomy for them. Jim Finkel: Honestly, I know this sounds...I was happy to see there were no major suicides, people weren’t jumping off bridges, there weren’t personal disasters.

Summary: The Financial Reform Act: Will It Succeed in Reversing the Causes of the Subprime Crisis and Prevent Future Crises? By: Professor Charles W. Murdock The current financial crisis, which could have plunged the world into a financial abyss similar to the Great Depression, is far from resolved. The financial institutions, which this article asserts caused the crisis, have returned to profitability and have paid billions of dollars in bonuses, while ordinary Americans have borne the brunt of the meltdown, with formal unemployment hanging around the 10% mark. This has caused some to comment that profits have been privatized and risk has been socialized. Two years after the economic meltdown, the impact continues as local governments turn off streetlights, cut back on police and fire departments, close down transit systems, return paved roads to gravel, and put schools on a four-day week.

What you are about to hear is Part 2 of a two-part conversation with Alex Blumberg, best known for his work with This American Life as co-host of Planet Money and also cofounder of Gimlet Media, which has produced two blockbuster podcasts at the time this particular episode namely Startup and Reply All. He is a true master of storytelling, crafting narrative, radio, interviewing and much more. If you didn’t catch the first part, you might wanna do that before venturing in, but you can certainly listen to this independently. This second part is an excerpt from a master class that he taught on creativelive.com. I think it costs about $99.00, and it is phenomenal. Specifically, in this portion we are going to look at the art of the interview and how to craft and find the perfect question. So, I hope you enjoy it and without further ado, please enjoy Part 2 of the Tim Ferriss Show with Alex Blumberg. Alex Blumberg: What we’re gonna be talking about in this segment is the art of the interview. And what I’m gonna be covering today, what I’m gonna be covering in this section is first of all sort of the most basic question, which is what are you going for when you’re interviewing somebody? What are you trying to get out of it? What does a good interview look like, right? What does it feel like when it’s happening? And as part of that, I’m gonna go through what to ask, how do you come up with the questions to ask and I’m gonna be talking a little bit about the power of the right question and then I’m also gonna be talking about nuts and bolts.
