Free......
 

What better way to get the attention of Villagers?

2 days ago there was a story on the front page of the "Daily Sun" about a free service offered by Sumter Co.(also Lake Co.)
It's like Home Title Lock IMHO but instead of $19.95 a month it's FREE. We signed up and feel a little better. All explained in this Link that most will be afraid to open.... lol. :icon_wink:

Property Fraud Alerts -

Sumter County Clerk of Courts :ho:

I signed up the day it was announced. I’m still alive.

I use the Lake County service. You register your name in several different formats, and your email address. Then, if there are any property related transactions using your name, the County will send you an email.

I would never pay for the Title Lock service. A ripoff, in my opinion.

Thank you.

Signed up, thank you.

Thanks, CWGuy.

FIDLAR Technologies seems to be the contractor behind this free service. (I sure wish they had a different name since this is also an acronym for “f…. it dog life’s a risk” (American punk rock band - look it up). Didn’t give me a warm and fuzzy.

The link is just bringing me to the county clerks bio. Do you have another link?

Thanks

Try this:

Property Fraud Alert | Sumter County Clerk of Courts

same type of service.

That really doesn't fully solve the problem, the problem exists because so many counties and states make this information public. There are some counties and states that do not make it public. That is all they really have to do.

The reality is Home Title Lock is a scam of sorts. you are paying by putting your information in the public eye. Anything and everything CAN be hacked, including this service and home title lock. Once you give your information and someone grabs that database they now have reason to find your documents. It's not all that difficult for a hacker to do. Email addresses able to be traced, as well as anything in the digital domain. It's whether or not it's worth it to them. What better than a community of old people - sorry but old people are the #1 target for anything digital because they are viewed as incapable at being of the technical depth necessary to defend themselves.

Please make sure you read in full the disclaimer on the site.

Marion County?
 

It looks like this is only for Sumter county. Is there a similar service for Marion county?

Thanks for sharing signed us up

thanks for the info, I just signed us up

Sumter and Lake counties have the service. The last time I checked, Marion County does not.
