Foreclosure scam targets mostly Hispanic families - California

A Solano County woman and her daughter are among a growing number of people who have lost their homes and thousands of dollars to scams targeting property owners facing foreclosure, a county official said Tuesday.

“This woman lost her house, and so did her daughter, and they gave the perpetrators $12,000, and their homes are still on the block,” said Solano County District Attorney’s Office investigator Sonny Ash.

It’s part of a rash of kick-’em-when-they’re-down schemes aimed at defrauding people desperate to save their homes, he said.”*
