Home Title Lock is not a scam. It is a service that says it will monitor your home's deed to prevent title fraud for a fee of $15 per month. But, you can protect yourself free by periodically checking your property record on the website of your county's register of deeds. You can do this looking out for deeds that you or your attorney didn't prepare or sign, or loans you didn't take out, as well as liens of contractors, subcontractors, real estate brokers, or attorneys whose services you didn't hire, or court filings.
Many counties now provide a consumer notification service. Register for free, and you'll quickly receive an email or text any time a document is recorded on your property.
The following clues will help you determine when title fraud has occurred:
If you experience or find something amiss, notify the register of deeds and local law enforcement.

If they didn’t know how to do it before they certainly know now. Thanks for the information!
I purchased home title lock, some how it’s not showing up in my checking account. Without warning, so one minute you feel protected and the next minute you’re not sure. I’ve called them and hit 2 several times all I get is the same message! Who knows
What if your house is paid in full? Can they still steal your title?
It does not appear to be a scam but I hate it when they keep adding a little bit more cost before you can see your report.
How do you sign up for free to get notifications you left that part out?
Yes...What's the process to receive notifications?
Just exactly what is the LOC which implies LOCK?It appears to be just a notification service.Paying the fee will not absolutely prevent title fraud.
