Certified Deed Scam

The Tucson Multiple Listing Service sent this email to all its agents:

"Be aware that a national company is mailing out letters to homeowners (many will probably be your clients) making it seem imperative that they acquire and retain in their household records a certified copy of the deed to their house which the company will happily provide for a total cost of $89.95. As you know, the homeowner may obtain a copy of their deed from the Pima County Recorder for $1.00 per page plus an additional charge of $3.00 to have the deed certified should they believe certification is important."
