Foreclosure Fraud Seminar Scheduled in LargoThe fourth and final free workshop alerting consumers to the perils of foreclosure fraud, and offering direct assistance referrals for those who have either fallen behind in their mortgage payments, or anticipate missing payment sin the future is being held in September in Largo. The Foreclosure Fraud Prevention Seminar will be held on Saturday, September 11, at Largo Library (120 Central Park Drive, Largo.) Counselors will be available from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. With more than 33,000 active foreclosure cases in the Pinellas-Pasco court system, foreclosure fraud has become a real problem in Pinellas County. Unscrupulous individuals prey upon those who are in the process of losing their homes, promising relief, but providing few tangible results. Pinellas County's Department of Justice and Consumer Services recently received a $100,000 federal grant to fight foreclosure fraud. The grant was provided through the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act.
