Property and mortgage fraud is a rapidly growing crime in the United States. It occurs when individuals use forged documents or impersonation to falsely claim ownership of a property. These scammers may attempt to sell the property, transfer the deed, or take out loans against the property without the real owner’s knowledge. In some cases, property fraud may not be discovered for years.
To help Camden County residents and property owners protect themselves from fraud, the Camden County Clerk’s Office offers the Property Alert Service, a free notification service that will notify you immediately whenever a document with your name (e.g. mortgage, deed, or lien) is recorded at the County Clerk’s Office.
“This free service is the first step in protecting your property,” said Clerk Pamela Lampitt. “By signing up for alerts, property owners can take a proactive role in safeguarding their most valuable assets, and respond quickly to suspicious activity.”
Please sign up today and protect your property from fraud. It’s quick, easy and free.
Visit https://camden.newvisionsystems.com/PropertyAlert/, and follow the steps to enroll. You will automatically be notified electronically when a document is recorded with your name.
