🚨 SCAM WATCH EP. 4: Don't Wire Money Until You Do THIS
As a first-time home buyer, what would you do if the wire instructions email looked PERFECT... but was 100% fake?
That's what happened here. The fraud email had every fact and name matching. The ONLY clues: a slightly different email address, a different bank, and NO 4-digit PIN to call and verify.
Our advice after seeing this wire fraud attempt:
✅ Call the title company directly (on a number YOU verify, not from the email)
✅ Call your Realtor first to confirm
✅ Verify the wiring instructions 2-3-4 times — that's the security feature doing its job
If you're buying in Central Florida, save this and send it to your future self.
