I've got a NEW mortgage fraud term to add to the ever growing list of mortgage fraud scams . . .Applying for multiple loans at the same time -- a process known by the authorities as "shotgunning" -- is the fraud d'jour.
"In a scam the authorities have labeled "shotgunning," property owners apply for home equity loans with multiple lenders at the same time. In one case, a would-be borrower applied with three different lenders over a 48-hour period. Because the lenders did not all report into the same credit bureau, none were aware the same owner had simultaneously applied elsewhere as well."
