Key Takeaways

Always verify wiring instructions by phone with a trusted contact.
Never rely on email alone; emails can be hacked or spoofed.
Confirm details only through phone numbers you independently look up, not those listed on wiring instructions.
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.
Wire fraud happens fast; catching it quickly is the only way to stop the loss.
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.
