According to the FBI, property and mortgage fraud is one of the fastest growing white-collar crimes. Scammers file fraudulent deeds, making it appear as if they own the property. These scammers then trick people into giving them money to rent or buy those homes.
The Lake County Clerk of the Court offers a FREE service to help you protect against fraud! All you have to do is sign-up HERE, and they will notify you by e-mail when a document is recorded in the official records of Lake County in the name of a monitored owner.
