Greensboro, NC -- If you get a letter in the mail urging you to get a copy of your property deed, don't buy it.
A company in Washington D.C. called the National Deed Service mailed letters to homeowners all over the country.
The company offers to send you a copy of your deed for about $60.
But nearly anyone can get a copy of their deed from their county for less than $10.
Several elderly homeowners have reported the letter to Guilford County's Register of Deeds Jeff Thigpen.
He's warning them not to send a dime.
"Quite frankly it makes me angry. I'm getting a lot of calls from people who are elderly on fixed incomes," Thigpen said.
The Guilford County Register of Deeds explains the cost for a certified deed on its webpage.
