The same folks who got duped by all those crooked mortgage brokers are the same ones who'll fall for this trap? There's some real money to be made off the sheeples' stupidity. Then again, I pay my bills (and taxes) on time and don't seek handouts. That just makes me a different kind of fool. We should brace ourselves for a lot more of this sort of thing.

I've heard a lot of sentiment regarding the new opportunity for fraud being brought on by the latest housing rescue bill. Not only are there ads like these, but the claus in part 2 of the executive summary states "Servicers will receive an up-front fee of $1,000 for each eligible mod." Is anyone else worried about this?

They are working off the assumption that “There’s a sucker born every minute.”

It’s a safe assumption.
