The Most Popular Post of 2018 – Is Home Title Lock Legitimate?

I looked back at my posts from 2018, and by a large margin, my most popular post was my post posing the rhetorical question: Is Home Title Lock legitimate?

This post generated over 500 views per Blogger’s counter.  (What can I say? This blog isn’t exactly the New York Times.) 

I still hear the advertisements all the time on Sirius XM radio. They still bug me because I think they are spreading fear far out of proportion to the problem.  I still believe you are more likely to get struck by lightning than to have your home title affected by the fraud of a stranger.  According to outsideonline.com, you have a 1/10,000 chance of being struck by lightning in your lifetime (80 years). Also about 40 people per year die from lightning strikes in the US.
