They want $89 from you for a house deed. The address is a strip mall address and can't find the business anywhere. This was the same scam that was in the news in 2013.

Received a solicitation letter in the mail about a month after purchasing our home aimed only at the female homeowner and not the male homeowner. The letter formatting as well as outer envelope appearance look as if an official government type of documents as well as appearing like a bill. The top even states in bold lettering with large font to Please Respond By 7/31/17 and the bottom has a 'coupon' to detach and mail with check.

Repeatedly notes that it is not a governmental agency or that the service is not associated with any governmental agency (if you fully read everything).

It is a solicitation and even states so if you fully read all of the documentation. It is requesting payment for 'a complete property profile and an additional copy of the only document that identifies you as a property owner usually called deed, please detach coupon and return with an $89 processing fee in the envelope provided. You will receive your documents and report within 21 business days.'

When you look up the 'address', it is a box at a UPS store in a shopping center in the area of the state's capital.

January 26, 2017 Thursday

About five months ago I purchased a new condo located at *** *** *** *** *** ** and relocated to it. Around the end of December 2016 I received a important document in the postal mail from this company stating that I owed $89.00 for a property report. It had a copy of the deed to my property stating that I was the owner and it also stated that my cousin *** *** *** was the co-owner of my property. It had what looked like a copy of the deed to my condo on the document and it stated that it was connected to my living trust.I paid the $89.00 but I put a stop payment on the check at my bank realizing that this did not seem right---it seemed like fraud. However according to my financial advisor the check was cashed anyway. Normally a check that had a stop payment put on it does not go through but somehow this check went through. Today I received from this company in the postal service a Property Report the disclaimer states that this office is not affiliated with any state or county records but that it is an analysis and retrieval firm that uses multiple resources that provide supporting values,deeds,and evidence that is used to execute property reports and deliver requested deed. This company is a scam. And I would like to report this to the ScamPulse.com.I cannot send you a copy of the $89.00 because my bank is investigating that.But I am going to send you pictures of the property report as an attachment PDF file with this email. I would like to have someone from your office please contact me at my home cellular telephone number ***.I would like to have this company fined for their fraudulent activities......Thank You *** ***

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

This company says they are provided a service supplying customers who recently bought a home with the "only" records that indicate ownership of the property and send and invoice for $89.00 with a due date. Anyone who has purchased a home would have all of these documents as would the lender and the title company. These people are looking to take advantage of people for records that they already have sending them an invoice with a deadline. Shut them down.

Mail received in envelope made to appear "official," soliciting the recipient to pay $89.00 to obtain a copy of the deed on a new house, failing to tell the recipient that one can obtain such a deed from the County Clerk for a couple of dollars at most. It exhorts the recipient to "respond by 09/01/2016." It says that "This offer is not to be interpreted as bill due"; however, it looks just like that and could fool many individuals.

I don't know if this is an illegal scam (I'll leave that to you to tell me), but it is sleazy in the extreme.

I am a new homeowner and have received two notices from "Local Records Office" trying to sell me a copy of my deed for $89. Of course, I received the deed from the county (either for free or for a fee I paid at closing).

This outfit sends out letters after a sale of a home with a bill of $89 for a recently recorded transfer of property. It is very easy to assume this is the county's public records office billing for the recording of the transfer. The letter is very misleading. Considering this information is publicly available for 25cents per page at the county, less informed people may well assume this is a necessary county fee.

Deeds are available at the County assessors office. They say that you must respond by 7/1/16 making it seem like you need to pay the money ($89.00) to get your deed. Confusing for those who may not know better or the ederly.

Local Records Office sent me an "official" looking letter that claims it "provides a copy of the only document that identifies me ( my name written) as the property owner of my address (written in). The "Douglas Public Information" section, (not Douglas County) had incorrect information, ie, the Assessed Value was wrong. Local Records requested a fee of $89 to be paid by 6/6/2016.

Thankfully, I had just read an article in my AARP magazine about such a fraud, or a "service" that is NOT advisable since property records can be attained at the County Clerk's Office for a few bucks.

I assume that Local Records Office got my name and property information after I recently bought a mountain home in April. I have never written to ScamPulse.com before, but this company fries me! As a widow, never purchasing a home on her own before, I could have fallen for this $89 copy of the deed. They should be shut down!!!

Thanks,
