Received 'Transaction Advisory Notice' from Old Republic Title—Is this a scam?

Homeseller Forum

I received a letter that seems to be from Old Republic Title, claiming that a transaction has been opened on my behalf. They asked me to contact them if I’m unaware of it. This raised alarm bells since I haven’t signed any documents or initiated any transactions regarding my property. After some investigation, I found the website appears legitimate, but I didn’t see any recorded transactions against my property.

What could be the reason for this letter? Has anyone had a similar experience? Is this a scam or just a business outreach?

If a transaction has been opened, it hasn’t been recorded yet. I recommend calling Old Republic Title using a verified number to find out more.

It’s possible they’re reaching out to verify your identity to prevent fraud. Just make sure to find the phone number yourself instead of using the one on the letter.

Definitely call Old Republic directly. You could be alerted to a potential deed scam, and this letter may be a precaution.

Old Republic is a real title company. It’s worth making the call to verify things.

I cross-checked the phone number on the letter and it appears to be legitimate. I’ll call them on Monday.
