Email Scam – Wire fraud

WIRE FRAUD SCAM

We had another wire fraud attempt last week.  This time with a little different twist. For all the details, please watch this short video.   

​

PLEASE CHANGE YOUR EMAIL PASSWORD 

​

​Here are a few steps you can take to protect yourself and your clients.

 

1. Change your email password on a regular basis.

 

2. Educated your clients about wire fraud.

 

3. NEVER email wire instructions to your client. Let the title company send them.

​

4. Have your clients call the title company to verify the account number over the phone. 

​

5. NEVER send confidential info over free Wi-Fi.

 

6. Share this Wire Fraud Notice with all your clients.

 

​PLEASE NOTE…  Last summer a Kansas court held a broker and agent responsible for funds lost in a wire fraud scam, over $167,000.
