CONSUMER ALERT!!!

Register O'Brien warns of settlement scam

People have been receiving scam phone calls claiming to have information for consumers eligible to receive money from the mortgage settlement.  It is unknown if the callers are posing as bank employees or as a third party working on behalf of the banks, but they are asking for consumers' bank account information in order to direct deposit the money.  Borrowers should contact their mortgage servicers directly in order to obtain information on what they may qualify for under the settlement.  Register O'Brien wants to remind you to always be cautious when discussing personal information over the phone.
