This time of year, lenders, buyers, and agents are juggling deadlines, travel, and last-minute closings — and wire fraudsters know it.
Fraudsters are becoming increasingly sophisticated, using spoofed emails, fake wiring instructions, and scam phone calls to target buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals.
At Key Title, protecting our customers is a top priority. A few simple precautions can help keep your transaction secure:
✅ Always verify wiring instructions by calling a known, trusted number — not one in the email.
✅ Don’t trust any last-minute changes without double-checking with the attorney handling the settlement.
✅ If it feels rushed or off, pause and confirm.
A few extra minutes of caution can help prevent a costly mistake.
