[ck4829]

The hunt for foreclosure fraud is now underway in Jackson County. We first brought you news of a scam, where dozens of mid-Michigan homes were foreclosed on illegally. After hearing the news, officials in Jackson started looking through their records. It only took 15 minutes to find the same phony signatures that are popping up on documents all over the country.

It all started with a recent 60 Minutes piece that highlighted the scam where some big banks are faking forms to speed up the foreclosure process. One by one officials are finding thee documents in Jackson County. The county register's team is busy searching through thousands of documents to find one simple signature.

Mona Webb, Jackson County Dep. Register: "Linda Green, signing on behalf of a banking organization."

So far the Jackson County Register's Office has found 28 of the documents and counting, all with the same name, but totally different signatures.

5. Did you see the 60 Minutes piece?

The signers were employees of a mortgage company. There were dozens of them signing the same name.

[QED]

7. Forget the "little person" signing the documents

go after the banks and companies who hired them. The signers were most likely working for minimum wage and glad to have a job. Don't let the "privates" take the fall for the "generals."
