New Scams Making The Rounds

State regulators have a new scam warning for area consumers…

Some area homeowners have received mailings inviting them to join a nonexistent class-action lawsuit. The Missouri Division of Finance says the letters are bogus and should be avoided. The letter states that other homeowners have been told to send their mortgage payments to an entity falsely claiming to be their new loan processor.
Don’t fall for the rouse. In another scam uncovered by a special investigator, a man had applied for a payday loan and received a call about deliquent payments on the loan before the loan was even approved.
