Deceptive HUD Website

A notice from HUD has been received regarding a deceptive website, posing as an official HUD website, which is intended to dupe people into providing personal information. HUD has asked that customers and clients be alerted about this deceptive website.

Also note that HUD's official website for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is www.hud.gov/recovery

This email is to alert HUD customers to a bogus and deceptive website (http://bailout.hud-gov.us) posing as HUD. The website attempts to dupe people into providing personal information. And because it has been designed to appear to be an official US Government website, people may fall prey to this scam. Please alert your customers, clients and other stakeholders about this deceptive website.
