All of Florida’s 67 counties have some sort of property fraud alert program, but more people need to sign up.
Across Florida scammers are selling people's land, and even homes, behind their backs.
It's called property deed fraud and there's been a big spike in cases here in Florida because the real estate market in the Sunshine State is hot.
It happens when a scammer steals someone's identity and title, and then sells your property without you knowing.
You can protect yourself by signing up for your local county's property fraud alert program. It sends emails and texts if there's activity on land you own. It doesn't prevent fraud, but it's like an early warning system.
All of Florida's 67 counties have some sort of property fraud alert program. For more info, go to the Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers website.
