According to the FBI, property and mortgage fraud is the fasted growing white-collar crime in the United States.

 

Unfortunately, it has become all too easy for a criminal to record a fraudulent deed, making it appear as if they own YOUR home.  Once this step is complete, they can use your home as collateral on a mortgage -- or even attempt to sell your home to an unsuspecting buyer.

​

Although this type of crime is rare in Indiana, it is on the rise nationwide.  The Noble County Recorder's office has taken a proactive step to provide you with one tool for staying ahead of criminals who prey on property owners.
