BE VIGILANT
• Call, don’t email: Confirm your wiring instructions by phone using a known number before transferring funds. Don’t use phone numbers or links in the email.
• Be suspicious: Beiler-Campbell Agents and Delaware Valley Financial DO NOT email wiring instructions and it’s very uncommon for title companies to change wiring instructions.
PROTECT YOUR MONEY
• Confirm everything: Ask your bank to confirm the name on the account before sending a wire.
• Verify immediately: Within 1 hour, call the title company or real estate agent to confirm they received your money.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU’VE BEEN TARGETED
• Immediately call your bank and ask them to issue a recall notice for your wire
• Report it to www.IC3.gov and call your regional FBI and police
• Detecting that you sent money to the wrong account within 24 hours is the best chance of recovering your money.
