According to the FBI, Property and Mortgage Fraud is the fastest growing white collar crime in the United States! Scammers are filing documents such as fake Deeds, making it appear that they own homes or property that they do not. They then trick people into giving them money to rent or even buy those homes.
I urge everyone to check their property records the same way they periodically check their Credit Reports. Signing up for our FREE fraud alert service will allow you to receive notifications by phone or email when a document is recorded in Upshur County Official Public Records using a similar personal or business name.
Reviewing and keeping track of your personal information is an important step in protecting yourself from fraud. I encourage all citizens to take advantage of this free service and start protecting your property today!
