Passaic County Clerk Danielle Ireland-Imhof is pleased to announce the launch of a new Property Fraud Warning System for Passaic County property owners. The Property Fraud Warning System is a free service that provides email notifications whenever a property document with your name is recorded in the County Clerk’s Office.
According to the FBI, property and mortgage fraud is one of the fastest growing white collar crimes in the United States. This new Property Fraud Warning Service can serve as an early alert to property owners of possible fraudulent activity so that they can take the appropriate next steps with law enforcement agencies. Additionally, the system can be used as a monitoring mechanism to keep track of the filing of legitimate documents once you finish with a property closing, taking out or paying off a mortgage.
After registering to be enrolled in the Property Fraud Warning System, subscribers will receive an email or text notification if a property document with their name is recorded in the future. If someone receives a notification they can quickly check our Property Search website to see a PDF of the actual recorded document and take the appropriate next steps with law enforcement agencies if necessary.
The official press release is available for download from the link below.
