Don't Let This Happen To You...

Good morning!
 
We had something happen this week, and I wanted to share it with you as a cautionary tale.
 
I had a borrower that was about to close on their purchase loan.
 
The title company contacted her about where to send the money.
 
...except it wasn't the real title company.  It was a fraudulent crook acting like the title company.
 
She ended up wiring the crook $24,000.
 
The FBI is involved and it's a big thing...
 
This sort of thing is a problem in our industry right now.  If you are going to wire money make double sure it's going to the right place.  ...Or, you might just want to bring a cashier's check instead of a wire.
 
That's it for today!
 
Thanks for reading!
 
Brett
