Subject

IMPORTANT: Wire Fraud Warning Before Your Closing — [Property Address]

Body
Hi [Client Name],

This is a critical security message before your closing on [Property Address]. Please read it carefully.

WIRE FRAUD IS A REAL THREAT. Real estate closings are one of the most-targeted transactions for cyber-criminals. They impersonate title companies, attorneys, and transaction coordinators by:
• Sending fake emails that look identical to legitimate ones
• Spoofing email addresses with one-character differences
• Creating urgency to pressure you to wire before verifying
• Sending "updated" or "corrected" wire instructions at the last minute

OUR POLICY — WHAT WE WILL AND WILL NOT DO:
• We will NEVER email you new or updated wire instructions
• We will NEVER ask you to wire funds in response to a text or email
• We will NEVER pressure you to wire urgently or outside business hours

BEFORE YOU WIRE ANYTHING:
1. Get the wire instructions in writing from [Title Company / Attorney's Office]
2. Call [Title Company / Attorney's Office] at [Phone Number] — number you find independently, NOT from any email
3. Verify the wire instructions verbally with someone you have spoken to before
4. Confirm the receiving bank, account number, routing number, and recipient name out loud

IF SOMETHING FEELS OFF, IT IS:
• Different email address than you have seen before
• Slightly different phone number
• "Updated" or "corrected" instructions
• Pressure to wire today, this hour, this minute

In any of those cases, STOP. Call me directly at [Your Phone] before sending a single dollar.

If you have already received wire instructions, please call [Title Company] at [Phone Number] right now to verify them. Do not reply to the email containing the instructions.

Wire fraud losses are typically not recoverable. The few extra minutes to verify are worth it every time.

Stay safe,
