A woman in Fort Dodge, Iowa got a letter from the Webster County Deed’s office – her home warranty was about to expire.
What? What does a Deeds office have to do with home warranties. The answer is simple – nothing. And you know what’s coming – it was a scam.
The Messenger said, “The letter also contained a ‘renewal fee voucher’ for $199, which resembles a check and requests immediate action to call or be left vulnerable to repair costs. The Iowa County Recorders Association, in partnership with Iowa Land Records, confirms that this information is not legitimate. Similar illegitimate letters have been found across the country.”
