HUD foreclosures

Fake websites are popping up on the Internet with the intent of gathering your contact information. An example of such a web site is bailout.hud-gov.us/, although this web site now seems to have been taken down. If this site pops back up, please note that this is not a HUD site, even though it has official looking photos and an official ’government looking’ seal.
When I originally paged through this site, it had a consumer alert tab that warns of fraudulent websites. There is absolutely no connection to HUD. Their disclosure page reveals that they are, “….a for profit business…..” Consumers beware.
The official HUD web site is http://www.hud.gov/, and the site of the company that handles HUD properties in Colorado is www.mcbreo.com
