To find the right escrow service provider, property buyers should do their research and validate the facts. In recent years, several Internet escrow sites have falsely purported affiliation with, incorporation by, or backing from FNF or Micro General Corporation, a fully owned FNF subsidiary. In fact, FNF does not own or back any Internet escrow site. FNF previously owned Escrow.com; however, in 2002, the company divested itself of this IP address. The website is currently owned by a reputable security software company.
Consumers have reported doing business with some of these fraudulent escrow firms, and many claimed they were bilked after paying for services.
