RIVERSIDE – (INT) – A new scam aimed at property owners is making the rounds in Riverside County.

Some being sent letters referencing recently recorded property documents and requesting payment. These letters are being generated by private companies and are not issued by the Riverside County Assessor-Clerk-Recorder.

“They are using publicly available information to send letters requesting payment for copies of documents. These letters are not from our office,” Peter Aldana, Riverside County Assessor-Clerk-Recorder said.

Property owners are advised to carefully review any mailed notices requesting payment for property records, property profiles, or copies of recorded deeds.
