According to MortgageDaily.com, which tracks criminal and civil cases across the country, Florida has the highest third quarter score on its Mortgage Fraud Index. The website gave Florida a fraud index score of 143. This easily surpassed numbers two and three on the list. Coming in second place is California with a score of 100. New York is in third place with a score of 70. In terms of real dollars, there were $110 million in mortgage fraud accusations levied in Florida.
Many of the mortgage fraud busts have happened in South Florida, and specifically in Miami. Some of these busts were frauds which were perpetrated with false loan applications and in other cases involving straw buyers. In some of these cases both mortgage brokers and title agents were picked up in these busts, and many attorneys have even lost their ability to practice law in Florida as a result of the rampant fraud.
