What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
Someone has offered to pay off my mortgage and set up a trust fund for me. I don't know this person. How can I protect myself from being scammed, while leaving the door open for it if it's legitimate? They have asked for my mortgage account number (to be sent to their attorney). Could anything bad happen if I were to give them that information? How do I go about setting up a way for them to do this for me without setting myself up for trouble?
