Re: lost home by a scam

YOU immediately need a lawyer to represent you.

If you cannot afford one, you should call a BAR Association, law school legal clinics, Legal Servics , etc., for a lawyer or legal clinic referral.

DO NOT DELAY!!! YOU NEED TO STOP ANY OTHER OR FURTHER ACTIONS AGAINST YOU OR YOUR PROPERTY.

GOOD LUCK
