The Town of Amherst states that schemers are sending letters requesting checks to be sent to 'Property Records MA' at an address in Cambridge in exchange for a copy of your property records, like a deed.
The town is advising residents to exercise caution and to avoid sending money or any personal information to unsolicited letters. If you need to acquire any documents about your property, contact the Registry of Deeds, the bank you have a mortgage with, or the probate court if there has been any involvement due to death, divorce, or land court matters.
This scheme has been alerted to the Hampshire Registry of Deeds, and they have confirmed that there is no fee to print out your property information if you go to their office. Their information is as follows:
Address: 60 Railroad Ave, Northampton
