Deceptive Mortgage Offers

The FDIC is warning homeowners to beware of lenders attempting to lure in customers by claiming to be giving cash or grants under a program tied to the federal Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Some of the solicitations also imply that the FDIC endorses or supports the offers.

The CRA does not entitle individuals to grants or loans, and the FDIC does not endorse or sponsor mortgage loan programs. Consumers considering a loan secured by their home are urged to comparison shop at a variety of lenders.

Useful information on shopping for a home loan also can be found on the FDIC's Web site at www.fdic.gov/consumers/looking/index.html.
