NEW SCAM INFORMATION FROM GRAFTON COUNTY REGISTRY OF DEEDS

The Grafton County Registry of Deeds sent the following email:

Yesterday an elderly man came in to question a document that he had received in the mail. This is a new scam. I scanned the document and notified NH DOJ, Grafton County Sheriff's Dept and County Commissioners.I have blocked his name and scanned the image, feel free to post it in your offices. He was from Benton. So unfortunate.

A reminder: FBI has identified real property theft on paper as the fastest growing white collar crime.

I will be spending some time this spring getting out to the Senior Centers to promote our free and secure service Property Fraud Alert.
