Ethos Investigative Services Introduces Mortgage Fraud Investigation Service

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- St. Petersburg, Fla.-based
Ethos Investigative Services, Inc. has added mortgage fraud investigations to
its roster of risk-mitigation services. Ethos investigates claims for banks,
financial institutions, and private mortgage insurance (PMI) companies.
"During the real estate boom unscrupulous mortgage brokers and borrowers
often misrepresented income or assets, forged documents, inflated appraisals,
and misrepresented a borrowers' intent to occupy a property, " said Ed
Cotilla, president of Ethos.
The FBI reports that the depressed housing market provides an ideal
climate for perpetrators of fraud, adding that identify theft, particularly
targeting borrowers with good credit, is likely to increase.
Ethos mortgage fraud investigations include employment and salary
verification, checking for forgeries, and determining the source of the fraud.
In addition to claims investigations, Ethos offers due-diligence services to
lenders to help prevent fraud. Ethos' mortgage fraud services are available
nationally.
