Received a piece of mail that looked real (it looked very similar to a notification I got from my actual bank) until I realized there was no mention of an actual company on the piece of paper. It was referencing my lender and also had my name, address and a loan amount very close to my actual loan amount but not exactly. It had an 800 number and a time limit of December 16. I called the number and spoke to an Andy Evans, he took my information and sounded pretty convincing. He even put me on hold (I assume he was pretending to be) while consulting with the underwriting department. It all sounded legit until he asked me for $2500 up front fee for a "loan modification". He said he contacted my lender but when I questioned him for more info about who he spoke to from my lender and more information about what exactly happens during the modification and extra fees he became evasive and had a lot of fluff answers for me like how the government programs are funding it all.
