Wire Fraud is a Serious Problem
Cyber criminals target you and other real estate transaction participants in order to steal funds that are being transferred during closings. They hack emails, impersonate title companies and spoof your real estate agent in an effort to trick you into sending funds to fraudulent bank accounts that they control. In 2021, cyber criminals stole over $350 million from 13,638 real estate fraud victims.

Do Not Trust Wire Information Outside of Closinglock
Do not trust anyone who reaches out to you in an attempt to provide or request wire
instructions. This includes phone calls, emails, links, attachments, letters, etc. If you have
any questions, call your title company on a phone number that you get directly from
their website.
