Florida AG Likens Mortgage Fraud to “State of Emergency”

" Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum is calling on several state agencies and associations — including the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Office of Financial Regulation, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the Florida Bar — to develop what he called “a cooperative approach” to the state’s widepsread mortgage fraud crisis. McCollum’s office has received hundreds, if not thousands, of complaints on various issues related to mortgage fraud including criminal fraud and foreclosure rescue fraud, he said."
