scam alertOC Clerk Annie Rabbitt is advising residents to be aware of certain scams that are circulating around Orange County. Please see below for 2 of the most recent scams.

First is a text message phishing attempt for your personal information. Residents have reported receiving text messages from what looks like the DMV. If you click the link it is asking for your drivers license number and your social security number. Do not click the link. Do not give them your personal information. It is not from the NYS DMV. Below is an example of what the text message may look like.


Another issue we would like you to be aware of is a notice from any company stating they can get you a copy of your deed for a fee. You can get a copy of your deed directly from the Orange County Clerk's Office for approximately $5. Contact us for a copy of your deed.


Please check back for any updates to this information.
