A note from Ken Wade, CEO, NeighborWorks America

Colleagues and friends- as you know, a new wave of scam activity is sweeping the nation - loan modification scams. In response to this crisis, NeighborWorks® America is launching a national public education campaign designed to alert and empower homeowners to protect themselves against loan modification scams, find trusted help and report illegal activity to authorities.

Our campaign cannot succeed without your support and participation. In the months ahead, our combined efforts on behalf of the "Loan Modification Scam Alert" campaign will alert millions of distressed homeowners to know the signs, get the facts and report scam artists in their communities.

Please join us for a live Webcast of the campaign's kick-off event at the Los Angeles City Hall at 12:00 noon – Eastern Standard Time – Monday, October 26. Invite staff, local partners and friends to watch the event too.

And be sure to check out our campaign website, beginning Oct. 26. There, you'll find more information about the campaign and downloadable, customizable materials to alert homeowners in your community.

Knowledge...along with your participation...is our best defense.

Sincerely,

Kenneth D. Wade
