Welcome to Making Sense New England, a monthly series about the economy and you. We're here to share ideas, advice and solutions to the economic challenges facing all of us. The stories come from neighborhoods throughout northern New England and take on some of the problems caused by the recession. Today - are you considering a time share? Financial harmony after matrimony. And advice for the older worker. First -- as foreclosure rates in New England climb, so too are the number of people victimized by mortgage fraud. One popular scam involves loan modification. That's when homeowners ask a lender to alter the terms of their mortgage so they can keep paying it. In many cases credible lenders make loan modification work. But as Making Sense correspondent Phil Vaughn found out there are plenty of desperate people who are vulnerable to scammers.
