How a Fake Prize Could Take a Real Home #RealEstate #PodcastClips

A $25,000 mistake nearly cost them everything.
 
In this clip, we dive into a conversation with a homeowner who was weeks away from foreclosure—not because they couldn’t afford the mortgage, but because they were still sending money to a scam.
 
The numbers were clear. Their income covered the bills.
But every month, instead of paying the mortgage, they prepaid taxes for a million-dollar Publisher’s Clearing House “prize” that never existed.
What’s worse: they were living without electricity, their car was gone, and yet they still believed the prize was coming.
 
This isn’t just about scams—it’s about hope, denial, and the quiet shame that stops people from asking for help.
 
This is the dark side of personal finance most investors don’t talk about.
 
Watch the full story to understand how easily hope can become a trap—and what we can do to help people before it’s too late.
