It's not just anonymous, ordinary folks who fall victim to real estate scams. It's also city council members! Former City Councilman Dr. Kendall Stewart was among those hit by a loan modification scam in which they were solicited for up-front fees to process loan modifications and avoid foreclosure. Eighteen people were recently arrested by the Mortgage Fraud and Real Estate Crimes Unit for similar scams. Politicians: they're just like us. [NYP]
