At Pride Abstract & Settlement Services, our wire fraud drill consists of three important steps:

We’re committed to fighting wire fraud.

If you have any questions about how we fight wire fraud during the homesale process, feel free to reach out to [email protected]

01

STOP

If you receive an email or text with a change to the wiring instructions, do not reply. If you receive a phone call with wiring instructions, tell the caller you’re going to hang up to verify the information.

02

CALL

To make sure you have received a legitimate request, call a trusted phone number you have used before to contact the buyer, seller, agent, lender, or escrow officer, or use a number written in the contract. DO NOT call a number listed in the email sent to you or use the number that called/texted you. There could be a fraudster on the other end of the line, ready to trick you into diverting funds into their account.

03

VERIFY

After calling a trusted number, talk to the person that the email, text, or call was said to have come from. Verify that there has been a change to wiring instructions.
