Protect Your Property With Fraud Alert
Scammers commit property fraud by filing fake deeds, making it appear as if they own homes that are not actually theirs. Then, they trick people into giving them money to rent or buy those homes.
The Property Fraud Alert from the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller is a free service to help you protect your property from fraud by monitoring the documents being recorded in the Official Records of the Clerk's office.
Register to receive free email alerts when a document such as a deed or mortgage is recorded using your name, your business's name, or your address. This early notification can save time when stopping scams.
