The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC), with funding from the U.S. Department of Justice, has produced new radio public service announcements (PSAs) to warn individuals about mortgage fraud and how to avoid falling victim to it.
The PSAs encourage listeners to consult NCPC's website for resources including free legitimate housing counselors who can help protect citizens from con artists trying to steal their homes. The new PSA campaign is the latest for the NCPC, which is best known for the long-running campaign featuring the cartoon character McGruff the Crime Dog, whose trademark slogan is ‘Take a Bite Out of Crime.’
