We all use auxiliary help when times are busy.  Signing agents and temporary help.  But beware; are you giving “non-employees” dangerous access to personal information that you are responsible for?

The DOJ has issued a press release regarding  a temporary employee who’s job was simply copying loan documents. In that capacity, she  stole personal  information belonging to over 250 would-be home buyers and used that information to obtain fraudulent credit cards.

Use due diligence in the hiring and overseeing of all of your help and assure they are properly licensed.   Even non-employees require oversight in the title and closing business.
