GUIDANCE FOR YOUR NEXT MOVE

Protect your transaction

Verify before you send money or sensitive information.

01

Confirm wiring instructions by phone

Use a trusted phone number independently obtained earlier for your title company or closing professional. Do not use a new number in an email announcing changed instructions.

02

Stop when something changes

Urgency, changed account details, look-alike email addresses, and unexpected attachments deserve verification. Do not send funds based only on email or text.

03

If funds may have been diverted

Contact your bank immediately to request a recall and notify your closing professional. Report suspected fraud at ic3.gov. Act promptly; recovery is not guaranteed.

04

Protect documents

Use the secure document process agreed with your lender and closing team. This website’s inquiry forms are not for account numbers, identity documents, or wire instructions.
