Mortgage fraud and identity theft crimes are in the news every day. Property Fraud Alert is a free online subscription service offered to the public that allows one to have their name monitored within the County Recorder’s office in order to track possible fraudulent recordings that may affect their real estate. The alert does not prevent fraud from happening, but it can provide an early warning that fraudulent activity has taken place. This service is entirely different than title insurance and in no way replaces the need for title insurance.
