Foreclosure Help Crew Mad at Work

A new post on FHB, obviously written by Casey but attributed to "Foreclosure Help Crew", highlights the previously mentioned contact/evaluation forms.

Competitive Landscape for Syndicatered (aka Andrew Guzik)

Syndicatered's commercial lending "business" has a cookie cutter web template with a copyright notice on it: © Scott Bishop, 2006.

Note that Bishop is the last name of the guru he trained with, Kellene Bishop. Out of curiosity, I was wondering how many other people have used the cookie cutter to generate their own fabulous wealth generation opportunity.

According to Google, quite a few. Take a look, and see who your competition is.

Free Pre-Foreclosure Evaluation!

One of the links on FHB has been fleshed out into a "Pre-Foreclosure Evaluation Request Form". Translation: Come let us skim a little off of your tragedy by getting referral fees from real estate and/or loan companies.

This contact form looks pretty intricate, but it has no CAPTCHA. It'd be a shame if some botnet decided to request 8 billion different evaluations for $RANDOM_FIRSTNAME $RANDOM_LASTNAME.

In addition, the contact page now has an email form. Go ahead and say hi!

Swabcast: Anonymous Insider Tips!

Nigel Swaby hosted a talkcast tonight. Over at CaseyHaterz.com, a thrilling play by play thread followed the action.

At one point, an "official anonymous representative" called in, obviously Casey talking about himself in the third person. Because, you see, if he's pretending to not be online, he's not online! 15% success!

Major points of the talkcast include some pontification on whether the Fed will raise or lower rates, Utah politics, and other extremely boring subjects, interlaced with occasional nuggets from our favorite shiteweasel. Er, I mean, from an anonymous representative of our favorite shiteweasel.

According to Casey anonymous, the launch of ForeclosureHelpBook was not well thought out. That's the surprise of this young century! In addition, the flashy cars are troll bait, meant only to inflame the reactions of the haterz. Which is good, because Casey anonymous admits that nobody who's facing foreclosure actually visits FHB. But, enough haterz are commenting that they will outsource moderation to virtual assistants in India.

Bingo! Oh, sorry, I had five Caseyism in a row on my card, I'll redeem my prize later.

Apparently Casey is having "limited success" in improving himself, partially due to his perceived lack of Jamba Juices in Phoenix. A shortage of which Google Maps is blissfully unaware. Or perhaps it's just that, with no car, Casey can't get to Jamba Juice (and Damion won't take him on the way to work.) Buck up, little shiteweasel, you could ride your bike! It's gotta be easier than riding around Lake Tahoe.

Casey's apparently giving the Utah wrappers a "grace period". Due to Cashcall giving Casey an involuntary grace period, his FICO score now hovers at a dismal 501. That and his Google footprint has made him virtually unemployable.

In relationship news, Casey thought that his marital separation would be temporary. Now that divorce papers have been filed, at first he thought he would not file a response, but then he did. For those uninitiated in California divorce procedures, not filing a response means "OK, let the divorce happen just the way she wants." Filing a response means "Wait, I want more of the CD collection and permanent custody of Smushkins!" and generally drags the process on for some undetermined amount of time.

Foreclosure Reminds Me of the Time I Crashed My Porsche...

The latest post from Damion compares foreclosure to overcooking a corner in a sweet v-dubs Porsche.

It won’t be fun or stress free but it is our obligation to take personal responsibility and stop swerving all over the track of our lives trying to correct our path at 100mph. We need to slam the brakes on our dumb old patterns and habits, stop our out of control ship and then look out at where we really are. Only then can we have a chance at a future.

It’s one thing at time. The first thing to fix is us.

Would running around in Porsches and Lamborghinis and stocking the conference rooms with San Pellegrino count as stopping to look around?

Big Launch! Woohoo!

So the official launch day is here (a day late), and brings a rambling post by Damion.

It's so boring, that my only response is to post a boring post in return.

Eggplant
Chicken breasts
Canned Tomatoes
Milk

There, that's the shopping list for today.

Blog "Redesign" & Flash Game

The ForeclosureHelpBook.com site has been "redesigned as boasted about by Casey in this comment:

Talk about massive focused action… check out the changes to the blog design. Big thanks to our graphic person for the header image and our flash person and cartoon person for the sweet foreclosure casino game. Of course I had to use my mad HTML and CSS skillz to integrate it all and make it look right. (And a little bit of management skillz to coordinate all the staff)

The amazing redesign results in such spectacular all caps navigation links as BLOG and THE BOOK and STOP FORECLOSURE, all of which lead to a fascinating "Coming Soon" page. All he's missing is 1995's de rigeur icon for such pages. [ed. note: Horrible seizure inducing animation omitted for your safety. This is the 21st century now.]

But the best part is the Foreclosure Help Book Online Game! Now how much would you pay out of your impossibly debt encumbered foreclosed-upon budget for Casey's stellar advice?
