<prompt> Human: Update: thanks for all your assistance guys. I went to the county clerks office and it seems that the the deed is indeed filed under my name. So Im going to see what exactly my options are in this scenario. Should I go back over to the house, knock on the door, and ask for myself? Maybe they are going by my name. Im very curious.Today a tax bill came in the mail for around 8,000 dollars for a house that I do not have any recollection of purchasing. Its valued at a little over a quarter million. It seems that the tax documents are in my name after checking with the local county tax officials. I received them with the taxes on my current home. Im not exactly sure what this means but Im thinking that this could actually be my home, fraudulently purchased in some way. What and where should I go from here? If I pay the taxes on the home does that mean I own it? This is all very confusing to me. How the hell can I have a home in my name that I didnt pay for? Unless I got blackout drunk and somehow came up with a quarter of a mil and bought it I dont see how this can happen. Please advise.Assistant: The thing is, is that I doubt my neighbors are aware of it either. Most of them dont even have a computer and are very poor. So they likely dont have the credit to even get a loan to finance such a home. The question I really have isshould I attempt to pay these taxes and if I pay them, do I have a case for being the homeowner?:  <response>: I definitely would not try to bamboozle your way into a home here. Youre more likely to just be in the hole with nothing to show for it than anything. Seriously, just talk with the county officials first before you start doing anything.
