fighting mortgage fraud

The three women call themselves the All-Broad Fraud Squad.

Nearly a decade ago, concerned that mortgage fraud was threatening their pastoral towns, the women ,two full-time mothers and a mortgage executive then in their 40s, got together to write down license plate numbers of suspicious cars in their neighborhoods, scour public documents for housing titles and deeds and seek the help of local law enforcement. At first they were ignored, written off as bored housewives.

Today, the three women ,Ann Fulmer, Alicia Sheppard and Julia Barrette ,are helping train F.B.I. agents, speaking to lending associations across the country and lecturing college students on how to identify mortgage fraud.
