According to the FBI, property fraud is one of the fastest growing white-collar crimes in the United States. Criminals file fake deeds or other land records to appear as if they own property that is not actually theirs, and then deceive people into giving them money to buy or rent those homes.
If you are one of the thousands of people relocating to Collier County this month, I encourage you to register for the Collier County Clerk of the Circuit Courts’ Risk Alert Notification Program. This free program allows you to monitor deeds, liens, and recorded property for suspected fraud.
