OLIVE BRANCH, Miss. — An Olive Branch teacher is opening up to WREG about losing her home. For some of her coworkers, it’s the first time they heard anything about it, so they decided to see if they could help and reached out to us to pass it on.
Marcia Naylor, a recent widow, lost her husband and then lost her home. She shared her story on WREG in early April in hopes of warning others about how she fell victim to what she says was a scam that caused her to lose her family home of 20 years.

“He said he would borrow money against my house to give me wiggle room,” Naylor said. “I didn’t sign anything. He asked me to share with him a copy of the deed of trust to my home.”
That decision proved costly for Naylor, an Olive Branch math teacher, and the two grandchildren she’s raising. They were forced to move out of their home after a judge’s ruling.
“This quit claim deed that he has in his possession. He upholds that document and tells me I have to be out of my home and that I’ve been squatting in my home,” Naylor said.
