In 2020, former Recorder and current Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said this about fraudulent records in his publicly funded information system of record:

"Part Two by Adrian Fontes, Maricopa County Recorder

Given the limited circumstances under which a document can be rejected for recording, there have been situations when ‘bad actors’ submit fraudulent or forged records.

Therefore, the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office recommends that you proactively check records recorded with our office and those at the Assessor’s office:

RECORDER website (scroll down to search by Last/First Name)

ASSESSOR website (search by entering Owner Name or Address)

If you believe that any fraudulent documents have been recorded involving the ownership of your property, please contact your local law enforcement agency or the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.

More information about Financial Institution/Mortgage Fraud is available from the FBI.

The Maricopa County Recorder’s Office will do all it can by cooperating with law enforcement and on any investigation in the pursuit of justice."

John Thaler and his team just presented to the AZ Senate findings that just begin to show the scope of a problem Adrian Fontes admitted exists.

Why don't you all hop on in there and see what you can find?

I've written a letter to the current Recorder, Stephen Richer, which I will post below.
