Foreclosure Scam Warning?

[Account Closed]

On Craigslist, I saw a link in bold which led to this article:
[url] . The Link was titled "Foreclosure Help Scams" (or something similar).

How do you prevent the stigma of REI being scammers?
How do you prove that you're honest?

Obviously, there are scammers out there. and obviously, an honest investor would probably not tell you to stay away from your lawyer. However, I do think for many people, its hard to tell who's who. The scenario described in the article is obviously a scam, and if someone reads this and is approached with a subject to or a lease-option, it may raise a mental red flag.

Just wondering how wholesalers deal with this issue...

I use testimonials (with pictures if at all possible) and my company is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau. I'm very honest, straightforward, and suggest that the sellers I intereact with meet with an attorney to review any documents I present. I close at a title company and keep my word on everything I say without exception even if it's small and relatively insignificant. Building trust is your number one goal.
