There has been a lot of talk about a scam that is going around, targeted at new home owners. So let’s clarify.
The scam: a letter is mailed out to new homeowners asking to send in a check for $89 to receive an official copy of your recorded deed.
DO NOT fall for this!! Your deed is available through the Lee County Clerk of Courts for FREE!!!
Sheriff Carmine Marceno and Clerk of Court Linda Doggett have released this information, in an attempt to prevent further scams.
Visit the Official Records page on the www.LeeClerk.org to obtain a FREE copy of your deed and other documents.
