Starke County Recorder’s Office Warns of Possible Scam

Starke County Recorder Mandy Thomason warns residents of a possible scam concerning a letter from “Local Records Office” that gives instructions about getting a copy of a deed with a charge of about $89.

Thomason said the letter from the company makes it seem like it’s necessary for homeowners to pay this fee for a copy of a deed, however it is not required by the county or the State.  Thomason stressed that she has not spoken with anyone from the “Local Records Office” in Indianapolis and believes the letter is a scam.

The letter states that the company is not affiliated with county government and it is a solicitation and not a bill.
