Mortgage fraud
A new Website seeks to help Los Angeles homeowners and tenants who believe they were or are being victimized by predatory real estate or loan brokers.
At FightingMorgageFraud.com, Los Angeles City residents can report suspected cases of mortgage fraud and abuse and find resources to help them avoid foreclosure.
"This economic crisis has led to a spike in fraud that preys on homeowners' rapidly dwindling dollars as they desperately search for a way to keep their homes," City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo said in an announcement released Tuesday.
"I believe it is our duty to rush to the aid of our most vulnerable residents in times like these," he added.
Detailed complaints can be submitted in English or Spanish.
