<prompt> Human: I recently purchased another home, and a few weeks after closing, received this rather formal letter in the mail from Record Transfer Services. This letter recommends that homeowners in my state obtain a copy of their current grant deed, and property assessment profile. The fee to have this profile sent to you is 83.Upon doing some investigation, this company is in fact a scam. They prey on newinexperienced homeowners who have no idea that this information is available from your local county records for a few bucks at most.Hopefully this will serve as a warning to other new homeowners out there to do some research on letters you get in the mail in this manner. I could easily see someone getting duped out of the money if they had no idea these public records are available.  <response>: Wife and I bought our first home back in October and its insane the amount of crap like this that you get. Unfortunately, no one told us what to expect, so when I started getting them, I didnt know if I needed the stuff or not. I simply went down to the local courthouse and asked the clerk if it was important as I truly had no idea. Thankfully they were great at pointing out why it was all crap. Great post for those who may be getting their first house.
