Product Detail

According to the FBI's Financial Crimes Report to the Public, mortgage fraud is one of the top financial crimes facing our economy. The 2007 report states that "the potential impact of mortgage fraud on financial institutions and the stock market is clear. If fraudulent practices become systemic within the mortgage industry and mortgage fraud is allowed to become unrestrained, it will ultimately place financial institutions at risk and have adverse effects on the stock market." As the report predicted, mortgage fraud has become a significant factor in the financial health of our economy.
