Property Fraud Alert
Property Fraud Alert is a free service offered to the public that allows individuals to have their name monitored within the Scioto County Recorder's Office in order to track possible fraudulent recordings involving their property.
The threat of mortgage fraud continues to rise, and victims of fraudulent activities are increasingly unaware that their homes or identity have been stolen. While Property Fraud Alert does not prevent fraud from happening, it does provide an early warning system for property owners to take appropriate action should they determine possible fraudulent activity has taken place.
Notary Fraud Alert
Notary Fraud Alert is a free online subscription service offered to all public notaries, enabling them to monitor their notary name and, where applicable, commission number within the Scioto County Recorder's Office's official land records to detect potentially fraudulent recordings made in their name or under their seal.
With mortgage and document fraud involving forged or stolen notary credentials on the rise, many notaries remain unaware that their information has been compromised until after filings occur. While Notary Fraud Alert does not prevent fraud, it provides an early warning system so notaries can take swift and appropriate action if suspicious activity is detected.
Just sign up by providing your full notary name as it appears on your commission. Once you’ve completed the setup process, you will receive a notification whenever a document is recorded using your registered information.
