Examples of Mortgage Fraud
Common types of mortgage fraud include:
- Misrepresenting income and employment on mortgage loan applications

- Shotgunning — obtaining multiple loans for a single property in a narrow time frame
- Identity theft in obtaining a mortgage loan
There are many ways to successfully defend against mortgage fraud charges, or obtain a favorable disposition, whether such charges are brought in Federal or State court.
