watch out for offers to get you a copy of your deed

I've been getting a new kind of junk mail recently, and have been getting some every week or two. They are offers to get me a copy of my deed. The mailing says how important it is to have a copy of my deed, and in this they are correct. However they want to charge $60 to give me a copy of it.

There is no reason to pay someone to get a copy. First I have a copy of the deed to my house already in the closing package that I got from the title company when I closed. Even if I had lost that, I can call the title company and they can send me a copy of it. And say I forgot who the title company was, deeds are public records so I can get a copy from the County.

Just another scam to watch out for. If you get mailings like this or other, please feel free to run it by me first before paying for anything. I'll consult for free! billconover@america-lending.com
