Interesting, but I don't think that this is a common occurance in this "digital age".

At least they had the wording correct. A "note" is a promise to pay. A "mortgage" is a document that pledges collateral for the loan (note). This is usually the real estate being purchased.

It's a common practice to use the word "mortgage" when they actually are referring to the note.
