Wire fraud is one of the biggest risks during real estate transactions. ⚠️🏡
Scammers often target buyers and sellers by sending fake wiring instructions that appear legitimate. One wrong transfer can result in significant financial loss—and once funds are sent, they can be difficult to recover.
Always verify wiring instructions directly with your closing attorney using a trusted phone number before sending funds. Never rely solely on email communication for wire details.
At Keable & Brown, our real estate attorneys in Greenville, SC take security seriously and work closely with clients throughout the closing process to help protect against wire fraud and other transaction risks.
