I recieved a call from this number this afternoon, but it was not from any of the above listings. It was from a company called GMI Enterprises. I spoke to a very nice girl named Tonisha, operator #132. The call was about processing Government Mortgage Insurance loans for people who have overpaid their FHA Loans, the idea here is to call the people and inform them that they will be recieving a check from the Department of Treasurey in whatever the amount is that they have overpaid. She also said that the call was recorded for customer assurance, and that there was also a one time fee of $69.00 plus $10.00 S+H, Total:$79.00, for this fee I will be sent an orientation package that will include a list of names of the people who are entitled to this refund,customer support from GMI and some other information as well. She said that I would make between $400.00-$800.00 working from home by doing this. She also quoted to me GMI's guarantee that if for any reason I wish to no longer do this job, that all I need to do is send them a copy of the list of names that they sent to me and the orientation package, and my credit card will be refunded the initial fee of $69.00. She said that I would be recieving my package within 7-10 business days. I have never tried any of these work from home things, so I thought "why not try it?" I will let you all know how it turns out. I promise!
For many years, the upfront mortgage insurance premium that is added to the principal balance of FHA mortgages was refundable on a pro-rata basis no matter how the loan was paid off. This was changed several years ago and now the upfront mortgage insurance fee is only refundable if you are refinancing with another FHA insured mortgage. Because this change is many years old now, most people who were due a refund from HUD have already received their refund. Yet everyday I still see ads enticing people to work from home “processing” HUD refunds!
Folks, don’t fall for either scam. You won’t make significant money helping people get those refunds because not that many people are still on the list and they have already been bombarded by letters offering this service. But more importantly, it is 100% absolutely free both to check the records to determine if you are due a refund and also to request that refund.
I keep getting a call from this number, but have never answered the phone. When I call it back it says to enter your telephone# to be taken off the list.
