• The FraudBlogger Index was created by http://www.MortgageDaily.com and utilizes data from FraudBlogger.com.
  
  
• The index reflects active criminal and civil mortgage fraud cases tracked by FraudBlogger.com.
  
  
• Cases involving larger dollar amounts are given greater value in the index.
  
  
• Except for the annual report, which is projected to be released in Jan. 2008, monthly data may include some overlap but still provides a valuable perspective of the level of fraud activity during a given period.
  
  
• If there were no fraud activity tracked during a given month, the index would be zero.
  
  
• A minimum of $100,000 was used for all cases tracked including when no amount was available. The national total index is an aggregate of all state data.
