Protect your Investment with FraudSleuth
What is FraudSleuth?
FraudSleuth is an online tool to help protect property owners against possible fraudulent activity. Similar to credit monitoring services, FraudSleuth can now automatically alert users when a document is recorded in their name.
The Stark County Recorder’s Office has implemented FraudSleuth as a way to help protect property owners within Stark County. Our goal is to provide citizens with an easy way to protect their investment, provide peace of mind and take a proactive step in fighting property fraud.
Note: Please be aware that there may be other property owners in Stark County with the same name. A notification simply alerts you whenever a document is recorded containing a certain name. It does not necessarily indicate that fraud has been committed. If you have questions or suspect fraudulent activity, please call our office at 330-451-7443 or email [email protected] and we can help guide you to the proper agency for assistance.
