It depends on what you consider a scam. They will charge 3 or 4 points in fees in addition to normal closing costs. This could increase the total amount owed by thousands or more.
Sure, you will get a better rate but it will take upwards of 10 years to realize any actual value.

I just refinanced with Lend America. I went from 6.5% to 3.4%. I also went from 30 years to 15 year payment. I was extremely hapy with who I dealt with. Very professional. They are out of NY and I am in NC.

As of Monday Nov 30, the federal government (HUD, FHA and Ginnie Mae) has WITHDRAWN its support to Lend America and Lending Key. They are looking to bring civil fraud charges against them. Steer clear of these companies! http://portal.hud.gov/portal/page/portal/HUD/press/press_releases_media_advisories/2009/HUDNo.09-217
If you're already have a mortgage with them, get in touch with FHA to see how you will be affected. For more personal financial advice go to http://www.themoneyladder.com or follow us on twitter.com/themoneyladder

They tried to pay off my 1st mortgage earlier this month with a BAD check. If you or I wrote a bad check for $60,000 we would be in jail. I hope all of the ex-employees and Michael Ashley get what is coming to them, it may be in 5 hours or 50 years, but they will get theirs for doing this to people
