I wanted to share this post from my Title Rep, Debbie Rodriguez at Ticor Title as it is worth building awareness to be prepared on what the process is like when doing a wire transfer.
“Real Estate wire fraud can start with something as simple as an email.
Fraudsters may impersonate trusted parties, create a false sense of urgency, or sending convincing instructions designed to redirect funds. That’s why slowing down and verifying information through a trusted, known contact is so important.
Never rely solely on unexpected or last-minute wiring instructions received by email. When something feels off, verify before you act.”
Connect with one’s escrow officer when ready to wire funds to confirm wire instructions. Scammers know wire transfers are part of purchasing a home, so buyers please be ready to double check and get confirmation when doing wire transfers.
