The statistics governing fraud and forgery and the way the parties are targeted give all of us cause for concern. CertifID, a third-party verification service, reports that the 2023 data it collected revealed that there was a record fivefold increase in mortgage payoff fraud attempts from the first quarter to the second quarter alone.
