SCAM REVEALED, PLEASE BE CAREFUL

-
The following SCAM letter was received by one of our unit owners, Ruth, as noted on the letter; she was not fooled and provided the letter to UCO, so that we could alert others:

The problem with this "offer" is the exorbitant cost of some $56 dollars.
-
In the event that you might actually require a copy of your Certified Deed, it may be obtained from the Official Records of the County by Snail Mail for a cost of $8 dollars and change. The deed may be ordered online at the following Site:

-
The cost is less than that if you go to the Courthouse; something like $6 dollars. So, don't be scammed, be smart and save lots of bucks.
-
Finally, if an ordinary non-certified copy will suffice, that can be downloaded for free from the County Official Records Search Site at the following link:

Thanks Ruth for sharing and helping others.

  1. I get this mail from time to time because they don't give up. They asked for $60 and word it so that it's mandatory that you do it. Just don't fall for it.

  2. The beauty of it is that it is not really a scam- just a gross overcharge for a legitimate service, advertised with a form letter that looks just enough like a govt document to look official.

    The real worry is what is done with all of that credit info later on- sold to offshore crooks maybe.
