"save"
Be careful of people who approach you with offers to your home. There are individ-
uals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a home-
owner's distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any sug-
gestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law require anyone offering
such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will
perform and fee they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from
you until they have completed all such promised services.
