The recent "Focus on Fraud" Webinar, presented by Lenders Compliance Group, was well-attended. The attendance was so good, that Lenders Compliance has been asked to offer it again by many clients and colleagues who missed it. The "Focus on Fraud" Webinar" is a three-hour, comprehensive training environment that trains attendees on detecting mortgage fraud, and presented by Lenders Compliance Group Director/Forensic Mortgage Services Michael S. Richardson, will be offered again on Thursday, Oct. 1 at 1:00 p.m. EDT. Michael is a nationally-recognized authority on preventing mortgage fraud. As part of the registration, participants will receive An American Epidemic: Mortgage Fraud - A Serious Business, Mike's well-respected book on preventing mortgage fraud. “Focus on Fraud,” trains attendees in detecting mortgage fraud.

Mr. Richardson's well-respected book on preventing mortgage fraud, An American Epidemic: Mortgage Fraud - A Serious Business, is a book ordered and used by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). The “Focus on Fraud” webinar answers such questions as: ► What are the major types of fraud? ► What to do when fraud has been detected? ► What are the "red flags" for underwriting? ► How do you suspend or decline questionable transactions?
