3. A company/person advises you to stop paying your mortgage company and pay them instead****STOP AND RUN THE OTHER WAY !

4. A company pressures you to sign over the deed to your home or sign any paperwork that you haven't had a chance to read, and you don't fully understand ***RUN AND SEEK LEGAL COUNSEL

5. A company claims to offer "government-approved" or "official government" loan modifications ***Please verify, you can check with your lender and remember you do not pay to benefit from any government program.
