POTENTIAL FRAUD ALERT
It has come to my attention that a York County resident has received the postcard pictured herein through the U.S.P.S. mail. Please be advised that this postcard is not connected to the York County-Poquoson Circuit Court Clerk’s Office, or as referenced on the postcard “County Deed Records.” Fortunately, the resident forwarded this postcard to our office with questions before taking any action.
It’s my understanding that similar letters and postcards have been sent to homes across the United States as far back as 2019, and some cases, may note the homeowner’s mortgage lender and ID. Examples of similar cases can be found in a news story from 2019 in Southwest Florida HERE, in 2022 in this UTAH NEWS STORY, and in IOWA in 2023.
If you come across a postcard or message like similar to this USE CAUTION in responding as this could be potential fraud.
Lastly, please be advised that the York County-Poquoson Circuit Court Clerk’s Office does not solicit or initiate any requests regarding real estate. If you receive anything by mail, email, or voicemail that gives you cause for concern, please don’t hesitate to contact the Clerk’s Office at 757-890-4103 to inquire further.
