Quick Answer: MyHomeSupport.org appears to be a scam based on this consumer’s experience of losing $500 and being unable to contact the company after March 2012. The FTC later seized the operation, which was allegedly connected to Sameer Lakhany & Precision Law Center’s fraudulent debt relief scheme.
