FTC, Realtors warn homebuyers about mortgage closing cost phishing scam 

A little over a year ago, the Federal Trade Commission and the National Association of Realtors issued a warning to people interested in buying a home. Scammers were posing as real estate agents, Realtors and title insurance companies to steal consumers’ closing costs. Well, that was last March, but it appears that scammers are still finding new victims to take advantage of.
