Mission Statement:

The purpose of the AARMR Mortgage Fraud Committee is to identify and document fraudulent practices relative to the mortgage industry, identify resources used to investigate and prosecute fraudulent practices, and act as a clearinghouse of information to regulators and law enforcement officials in need of assistance in combating mortgage fraud. The mission of the task force is education through the following goals:

1. To identify and explain fraudulent practices. This will include collecting data and information relative to mortgage fraud, and may involve further investigation to assist in a written explanation of the practices.

2. To provide a forum for the exchange of ideas with other agencies and organizations. The purpose is to act as a catalyst and mechanism in bringing together varied groups interested in effectively dealing with mortgage fraud.

3. To identify investigation techniques, enforcement remedies and other tools for dealing with fraud. The task force will collect documents, formats and strategies used by regulatory and law enforcement agencies and create a catalogue of this collection for use by others.

4. Act as a clearinghouse or portal for goals 1 and 2. The task force will present collected information for dissemination or extraction from the AARMR website by members or other validated parties.
