What if you had a chance to save your client from losing their life savings? Wire fraud isn't "someone else's" problem - it can happen to you and your clients.
Common wire fraud schemes involve a scammer inserting themselves into the home buying process, often near the end of the transaction. The scammer might pose as the buyer’s bank, lender, title company – or their Realtor®, in an attempt to gain access to the victim’s bank account. Because it is next to impossible to recover money stolen via these scams, prevention is the only way to keep your clients truly safe.
Join FBI Special Agent Timothy Lynch as he shares insights from his work combatting fraudulent schemes that cause billions of dollars in losses to victims every year. Come and learn what you can do to protect your clients and your business.
Hosted by the Attorney Roundtable.
