They "look" legit? What website is going to "look" illegit? As for having affiliates, the first question the comes to mind is, are you one of them?

Quoting a website's selling points (and any internet newbie realizes that is what most FAQ are)doesn't give any credibility. Not picking on you but it does seem to be a commercial.

My reporting of what this City Attorney office is doing is simple. The head attorney said that they will be investigating this organization in light of the new city statutes that will be going into place in the near future. But his immediate reaction was that any site that suggests "just walk away" could get alot of former homeowners into trouble in his city (and many others are starting to follow suit). This city, if the new statutes are inacted, will be holding borrowers equally accountable for empty buildings. You can walk away, you just can't hide :>)

I have examined dozens if not hundreds of websites like this. Believe me, they pretty much all look good. It's called marketing. And it is just as much to pull in affiliates as to pull in consumers.

So a question that increasingly comes to mind. Can an affiliate be held accoutable if a program turns out to be less than legit?

My attorney colleagues say, yes.

Our State Attorney office just shut down some 5 or 6 foreclosure rescue companies doing business in Minnesota. Believe me, all their websites "looked" legit.

So I tend to take things with a grain of salt. The FBI says that scams are coming out of the woodwork right now.

Hey, maybe this one will pass muster. Just have to wait and see.
