Reporting loan modification scams gets easier

Loan modification scams just won't go away, with new reports daily. But now a coalition of nonprofits has come together to make it easier to report the scams to authorities via a new electronic form.

The form adds to an already robust effort by one of the partners, NeighborWorks -- detailed previously by WalletPop -- to get the word out via multiple channels, ranging from a toll-free number, 1-888-995-HOPE, to tip sheets community organizations can print and hand out.
