Selling Your Home? Watch For Scammers
When you're selling your home you may want to hold an open house. Watch out for people who claim to have more money than they do - they may be trying to scam you out of your home. One sign of this real estate scam is that the prospective buyers cannot provide identification.

Some states put foreclosures on the fast-track, allowing your lender to send you a foreclosure notice withing 60 days of a missed mortgage payment.
