Beware of this property deed scam

Jason Bragg, clerk of Superior Court of Effingham County, posted a warning on his Facebook page regarding obtaining property deeds.

His warning states that someone or a group is mailing letters saying you can get a copy of the deed to your property for “the low price of only $89.00!”

“Don’t pay this ridiculous fee. The actual cost of getting a copy of your deed is 50 cents per page,” Bragg writes in his post.

“Don’t panic. Your deeds are safe,” Bragg continues. “Someone just got a wonderful idea to make a lot of money. All you have to do is visit your local Clerk of Superior Court if you need or want a copy of your deed or plat.”

The courthouse is located at 700 N. Pine St., Springfield, and is open weekdays, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
