Baxter County has implemented a new fraud alert system designed to notify property owners if documents are filed under their names, providing an extra layer of protection against deed and title scams.
Baxter County Clerk Canda Reese spoke with KTLO News and says the goal is to give the property owners an early warning if someone attempts a fraudulent property transfer.
