Wire Fraud Warning

BEFORE YOU WIRE FUNDS - VERIFY BY PHONE

Call to Verity

Always confirm wiring instructions by phone using a trusted number for the title company, attorney, or lender. Remember your real estate agent is always here to guide you, so when in doubt call your agent.

NEVER EMAIL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Do not send account numbers, passwords, or wiring details through email.

USE SECURE WEBSITES

Before entering financial information online: Look for https:// — the “S” after http shows the site is secure.

 

Type website addresses directly into your browser

 

Avoid clicking links in emails

Real estate wire fraud is a growing cybercrime targeting buyers, sellers, REALTORS®, title companies, attorneys, and lenders. Criminals send fake emails that appear legitimate in an attempt to redirect funds to fraudulent accounts.

COMMON SCAM WARNING SIGNS
  • Last-minute changes to wiring instructions

  • Urgent requests to send money immediately

  • Email addresses that look slightly different

  • Requests to avoid calling for verification

  • Poor grammar or unusual wording in emails

Never trust wiring instructions sent only by email with no prior phone call

BE CAREFUL WITH EMAILS & ATTACHMENTS

Fraudulent emails can look legitimate and may contain harmful links or attachments.

KEEP YOUR DEVICES UPDATED

Use current antivirus protection and keep your devices, browsers, and software updated.
