Wire Fraud: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

Wire fraud is one of the biggest threats in real estate closings today. Criminals often impersonate title companies or real estate agents to trick buyers into wiring funds to fraudulent accounts. These scams can happen by email and look very convincing.

In North Alabama and beyond, we’ve seen attempts to intercept wiring instructions near closing day. To protect yourself, always verify wire details by phone using a known number—never trust wiring instructions sent by email alone.
