Wire Fraud Notice

The real estate industry continues to be a target for internet hackers and scammers, so as we approach your closing date, please keep the following in mind:  

• Hackers send emails to home buyers and sellers and attempt to impersonate the attorneys, agents and title closers involved it the closing.
• Hackers will send fraudulent wire instructions to get you to wire funds to an account controlled by the hacker.
• Never trust an email with wiring instructions or asking you to provide sensitive financial  information.
• Always call your closer to confirm wire fraud instructions, using a phone number you looked up from an independent source. Never use a phone number from an email. The criminal will often provide their phone number in a spoofed email.

Call me if you receive an email like what I have described here, or any communication you find suspicious. Together we can verify the information and keep you protected.
