This may be from last Tuesday but it never hurts to send out a reminder about Fraud.
For example, we had a local lady call the office on Friday trying to obtain a loan so she could sent the money to her boyfriend in Turkey. A boyfriend she has never met in person, who apparently has a job but for some reason needs her to wire funds to him. Also, he is going to send her a package she is not to open but to send along to another address once it arrives. We educated her the best we could but this has FRAUD written all over it. (No loan application was or would be taken under these circumstances)
💻 Online scams are growing, and transactions are a target.
On , here’s the big picture:
The FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation reports all cyber-enabled cost Americans nearly $21 billion in 2025, with over 1 million complaints filed.
Although high-value transactions like real estate closings are especially attractive to criminals, title professionals play an important role in helping transactions stay secure.
