  2. “Paper Phishing: The New Mortgage Scam Flooding Mailboxes”
  3. “Fake Refunds, Fake Escrow Issues, Real Scams”

Homeowners across the country are getting hit with a new wave of fake mortgage mail — letters that look official, use your lender’s name, and say things like “urgent escrow issue” or “refund available.”
In this episode, Keith breaks down exactly how these scams work, how they use fear to trick you into calling, and what to do when one lands in your mailbox. He also shares real stories from clients who almost got caught — and how to spot the warning signs instantly.
 If you ever get a suspicious letter, take a photo and text it to Keith — he’ll tell you in seconds if it’s real or fake. 


 Key Topics Covered:

  • How scammers pull your name and address from public records
  • Why mail that looks “official” is often anything but
  • The emotional triggers these letters use to make you panic
  • Real examples of fake mail (“Final Notice,” “Escrow Adjustment,” “Refund Available”)
  • What to do when you get one — and what not to do
  • Why even your loan servicer isn’t always trustworthy
  • How Keith personally helps clients verify suspicious mail

Quotes to Highlight:

“These scams work because people love their homes and fear something might be wrong with them. That emotional trigger gets them to pick up the phone before thinking.”
“You worked way too hard for your home to lose sleep over junk mail.”
