Mortgage Loan Fraud Update: Serious Activity Report Filings from January 1-December 31, 2010

摘要

This update to FinCEN's prior Mortgage Loan Fraud (MLF) studies looks at Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) filings from January through December 2010 (CY 2010), with a particular emphasis on the 4th Quarter of CY 2010 (2010 Q4). It provides new information on reporting activities, geographic locations, and other filing trends in Q4 and CY 2010. This update includes tables and illustrations of various geographies that compare Q4 and CY 2010 filings based on the dates on which the suspicious activities are reported to have begun. Tables covering non-geographic aspects are compared with filings from corresponding periods in 2009. A Year in Review section provides updated statistics for CY 2010 on special issues described previously in FinCEN mortgage reports during 2010.
