Real estate wire fraud is one of the fastest-growing scams in the country, and closings are a prime target. Here's how to keep your money safe.
Criminals monitor email during a transaction, then send fake "updated" wiring instructions that look like they came from your title company or agent. If you wire funds to the fraudulent account, the money is often gone for good.
Never trust wiring instructions sent by email alone. Before you send a single dollar, call our office at a number you know is ours — not a number from the email — and verbally confirm the account details.
Be suspicious of last-minute changes to wiring instructions, urgent "do it now" pressure, slightly-off email addresses, and any request to keep the wire quiet. When in doubt, stop and call us.
