The Cookout

[Mud City Savage]

This is depressing news, but it seems to be a scam that happens a lot these days. This woman got a small house all her own, an lease to own type deal, where it would cost her $15,000 for it. She thought she had paid it off and was now a homeowner, but she lated received an eviction notice from the people who actually owned the house/property. She was scammed by someone pretending to be the owner, to which she sent monthly payments to.

On top of that, she has made repairs to the property, as it was badly damaged when she took it over.

The day she thought she paid off her house, she celebrated. Now, she faces eviction.

I bet someone will do a gofundme for her after heard about this. If not, someone should. Messed up that this sort of thing happens so often. I guess it's really bad in Detroit.

Scams like this, legal and illegal have been happening to Black Americans for decades. This is due to the Government basically allowing any and everyone to prey on us without consequence. I feel sorry for her, I hope she gets some type of recourse. In addition, people have to do their due diligence, can't just be handing out money and assuming...you need to check people's paperwork.

Facts. We get no protections though we just have to charge it to the game. That’s why we need to start getting real and start addressing this system for what it is and not what we wish it was.
