What should I do if I think I’m a victim of deed fraud?

Act quickly.

  1. Contact the Pottawatomie County Clerk’s office at 405-275-8222 and ask about the document that was recorded.
  2. Do not ignore the notice, even if you are unsure what it means.
  3. Consult a real estate attorney or title professional to understand next steps.
  4. If fraud is confirmed, you may be advised to file affidavits or reports to begin correcting the record.

The sooner you act, the easier it is to contain the situation.
