Once verified, never accept last-minute changes to wiring instructions.
Add an extra layer of security by asking questions only the real person would know.

Title companies now often leave out part of the account number to force a verification call.
Scammers use advanced tactics including spoofed voices, emails, and fake numbers. Stay alert.
