Bad Publicity
So I'm watching the news yesterday - big 'expose' on we buy houses cons. Apparently a lady in foreclosure signed some papers with someone she called to help her out and "unknowingly" sold her house for less than what it was worth. What followed was pictures of the we buy houses signs all over the state, ads in the papers, with tons of advice on how to avoid these "scams", and the horrors that could follow if you do.
Apparently just losing your house is best.
gee thanks Channel 6.
