There are some great articles online for anyone who wants to learn how to avoid the most common scams. This NHE scam is new to me but I'll keep a look out. thanks!
I'm really glad I found this online. I've received at least a dozen of those 'NHE Certification Free Seminar' emails since March and I used to wonder if they were legitimate or not but no more. I think these scammers get your email and contact information from legitimate sites who may sell the information unknowingly to scammers. I have no idea how else they got my contact information and email address. Now every time I get an email that has the NHE in the heading I immediately toss it into my Spam folder. The quicker the housing market picks back up the sooner we can start to see the end to these types of scams.
