In addition to Ms. Smith's observation, to anyone else reading this, if your home is scheduled for foreclosure, you will get a lot of calls or letters from people who claim to bail you out, or save your house. You'll fund most (maybe all) are scams like the one in this post. Throw the mail away, or hang up the phone.

Unfortunately this is a common scam. Sellers should ALWAYS make sure that they are released from liability from any loan that is assumed by a purchaser. That is, unless the seller agrees to remain liable for a loan on property they no longer own.
