Alert to Lake County homeowners
Lake County Recorder of Deeds Mary Ellen Vanderventer is cautioning homeowners who may have received deceptive letters regarding the deeds to their homes.
The letters look official and threatening, but the true purpose of the mailing is to get homeowners to spend money with a fake company, she said.
A video outlining the issue is available on YouTube. Anyone with questions or who needs a copy of their deed should call (847) 377-2575 or visit https://www.lakecountyil.gov/.
