Yes, unfortunately this is/was a common scam. But, that has no affect in the ability to “vacate a foreclosure sale”. Bear in mind, the defendant has only 10 days from the auction to file this and must Show some defect in the foreclosure process.....not “I was victimized” or “I didn’t receive a notice/summons because I moved”, “I want to do a short sale” or “etc,etc,etc.”. I sincerely doubt he has any valid reason to vacate the sale, I’ve seen multiple people try this and never saw them succeed.
