A Deer Park couple is fighting to save their house after they were victims in a mortgage scam.

Carol Calvagno says she and her husband signed a deal to refinance their house with a mortgage broker three years ago. Five months after the deal was signed, Scott Sims pleaded guilty to grand larceny for taking their money. The bank has since foreclosed on the property and the house was sold at an auction.

The Calvagno?s were served with an eviction notice and given until Tuesday to willingly leave or be forcibly removed. A judge extended that deadline Friday. The couple is due back in court Tuesday.
