5 out of 5 stars Helpful guide for loan officers   March 15, 2009
mostly non-fiction (NC)

This guide has been a life saver. After all, who wants to spend time in prison for a mistake that wasn't their fault?

This book helped me not only understand what type of fraud I should look out for in the file but it also helped me understand what underwriters would be looking for, which helps my files get accepted a whole lot faster. Simple things I overlooked before, I'm automatically aware of now.

Wish my office had made this mandatory reading or used it as a training manual for new hires. It would have saved me a lot of time and effort.

Definitely worth the money.



2 out of 5 stars Only about 25 pages of text in this "book" ...   June 14, 2009
Thomas M. (California, USA)
I just read this whole "book" in less than an hour. It's technically 101 pages, but uses large fonts, excessive spacing, many blank pages, ... and the "cases studies" from page 69 to 91 are the verbatim repetitions of the ones used in the earlier text with empty pages in between. In fact, they aren't really "case studies" and more like two paragraph hypos with very basic facts. It's not hard to spot the fraud when the the hypo states, "Walter is a Jr. and applies for a loan as Walter, Sr. [his father]." The question, "did you spot it?" seems rather silly. Of course, everyone can figure out that Walter is using another person's identity! It's pretty pricey and I'd say the publisher did his share of 'puffing' and misrepresentation on this one, especially on the "case studies" advertised on the cover and the formatting of this "book." I would only recommend this for use as an eight-grade high-school text. I'm returning my copy to Amazon.com.
