Recorder’s Office outlines Property Fraud Alert enrollment and how alerts work
Summary
Recorder's Office staff describe a nationwide Property Fraud Alert program that notifies registrants when a recorded document contains their name and explain how to enroll and respond if an alert is received.
A front-desk clerk explained the Recorder's Office offers a Property Fraud Alert service that notifies registrants when a recorded document matching their name appears in the office's records. "It's called property fraud alert," the clerk said, and added the program is "available in almost every county." The clerk said the alert notifies the registrant when a document is recorded with their name so they can contact the office with the provided document number.
The clerk advised customers to give staff the alert's document number so staff can review the record with them. Enrollment requires providing the registrant's name and contact method; the clerk listed email, phone, or text as contact options. McKissick closed the segment urging listeners who have not enrolled to do so as another layer of protection against fraudulent recordings.
