ditto...only did it once for each of my boys to get them started....small amounts. I would never ever do it for anyone besides my children and that is only once for each.

You really, really need to report her...how many other clients has she contacted and ripped off...Please, please report her to her previous employer and to the police.

First of all, I am very sorry for your loss. But to think that someone would try to take advantage of you in this way is just unthinkable. When I was growing up, I was always told to never lend what you cannot afford to give away. I think I would stay away from her in the future.

Boy what an insensitive person. I would make sure that she is not your mortgage broker if you should ever decide to sell your home. Hard telling what kind of a deal you would be getting ((into her pocket)) and not yours.

so sorry you lost your DH. She must have thought you would be a perfect patsy. and maybe that is why she doesn't have a job? got fired for trying it on other folks maybe? How crass of her. God keep you.

I think you have the right idea, but wrong execution. Her "former" employer can't do a thing with her. She is no longer employed by them, so they have no power. Same goes for the police - no crime has been committed, so the police will not get involved. Worst case scenario is that this is unethical, so the OP's only recourse (should she decide to take action) is to contact any board that issues any licenses that a mortgage broker is required to have.

Please do not do it and do not have contact with her. Be very clear to her you do not want her to contact you. This is just wrong.

You know, there are people who will do that because they figure a widow/widower has likely received a large amount of cash from life insurance. They take advantage of other people.

After my fil died, my mil was approached by someone who said her husband had been kind enough to lend him money every once in awhile, and could she do the same? She turned him down flat.

I would report her as well. Sorry for your loss.
