also NOTICE the COPY button. Obviously you wouldn’t

Loan Fraud –
Are you involved?
Loan fraud is a growing trend and
the worse the markets get the more
there are people that try to use the
mortgage system to obtain false
mortgages. As a REALTOR®, we are
in the middle of each transaction and
we are able to see many things that
JDLR… Just Don’t Look Right.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COPYING A LISTING
With the COPY function, the system will copy all the old
information from your previous listing. You will have to
enter some new information into the listing if a particular
field wasn’t in the system the previous time the listing
was active (Gated Y/N for example).
PICTURES DO NOT COPY WITH THE LISTING! If you
want to copy the photos, you must individually copy
each old photo to your computer, and then re-upload it
to the new ML #. The huge disadvantage of this is that the
OLD watermark will remain with the picture and a new
watermark will be stamped on top of it.

There are many scams including
cash back deals, straw buyers,
inflated appraisals, and even
identity theft schemes. Remember
if something does not look right and
you think there is fraud you have a
responsibility as a licensee to notify
authorities. First step is to talk to
your Broker (or legal counsel) and
seek advice. The second (and just as
important) step is to DOCUMENT the
situation. Always maintain a good
paper trail so that you can show
what happened, who you talked to,
the results of that conversation (or
writing), and what you did to resolve
the situation.
Remember if you do nothing you
may be held accountable. n
