Home Owners! Watch Out for this Direct Mail SCAM!
If you are a home owner, you might have received a pretty official looking letter in the mail. It could have come from the “Recording Compliance Board” or the “Title Compliance Office”; I have seen a couple different versions. I even received one in the mail!
It might ask you to send a processing fee anywhere from $140.00 to $160.00 to reconvey your deed or to order a copy of your grant deed.
Sure, it looks legit and official but don’t take the bait! All they are offering to do is send you a copy of something that you can get for FREE! Any of these documents are a matter of public record. Any Realtor® can obtain them for you.
For copies of your grant deed or any other recorded document, please contact me! I would be happy to get that for you….FREE OF CHARGE of course!
