WIRE TRANSFER SCAMS

Wire transfers are a quick and efficient way to move money electronically from one person to another. But scammers also find wire transfers useful to try and scam unsuspecting victims! Wiring money is like sending cash and once it’s gone, you probably can’t get it back. When buying a home, verify where the money is to be wired, especially if you get wire instructions by email. Wires to a title company or real estate professional can be an attractive target for hackers.
