In an interview with Laurita, an undocumented laborer who speaks little English and lost her home to foreclosure, she explains how she and her husband turned over their savings to a loan modification scam. “We trusted her,” Laurita told me, “she spoke our language and promised that we wouldn’t lose our home.” Over half of my respondents have been victims of loan modification scams, which are often not pursued by law enforcement.
