U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development cancels deal to
sell foreclosed property to Cuyahoga County Land Bank
 

The Plain Dealer recently reported that the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development will cancel its ongoing deal to sell post-foreclosure homes to the Cuyahoga Land Bank at a deep discount.

As many of you are aware, Famicos Foundation and other CDC’s have used this program to create hundreds of homeownership opportunities in our neighborhoods since the Land Bank opened in 2010. These homeownership opportunities allowed us to further attract new residents to the neighborhood, remove the number of blighting structures by returning them to productive use, and increase the rate of neighborhood homeownership.

During a time when our community is still dealing with the aftereffects of the foreclosure tsunami, it is essential that we are able to continue to provide these opportunities for homeownership: it is critical that this program continue so our plans can proceed.

Please take just a few moments out of your busy schedule and contact your senators and representatives and let them know that they need to reverse this bad decision. Even if you do not live or work in the Collinwood community, this is a national decision that needs further examination.

It is very rare that we ask you to reach out to Congress on our behalf. Please help!

The Scam Alert Widget publishes breaking news on scams that are reported to the Ohio Attorney General's Office.


Grandparent Scam Just Got Scarier
The BBB is issuing a RED ALERT regarding a new twist on the Grandparent Scam that involves the caller already knowing detailed information regarding family members.  In addition, the calls are not targeted strictly at seniors and the money requested is to be wired to Mexico (instead of Canada).  As least six complaints from the new scam have been received in the last two weeks (September 1, 2011).

With the updated scam, callers identify themselves by specific name as a particular family member.  They say they are being held in jail in Mexico and need bail money wired immediately.  They lace their conversation with correct references by name to other family members, increasing their credibility.  One caller even knew the real person being impersonated had a twin who was born two minutes earlier.

To protect yourself from this scam that uses a distressed loved-one tactic, BBB is advising people to remain calm and confirm the status of the individual by calling them back directly or verifying the story with other family members before taking further action.  Developing a secret code that is known only within the family is also recommended.
