PLEASE BEWARE THAT PHISHING AND WIRE FRAUD ARE ON THE RISE!
Lenders, Realtors, Real Estate Brokers, Closing Attorneys, Buyers, and Sellers are all potential targets for fraudulent activity, including wire fraud.
Certified Title Corporation (CTC) advises all customers to be vigilant following an increase in phishing emails targeting real estate transactions nationwide. In response, CTC is implementing enhanced protocols for all financial transfers related to closings.
- CTC will only contact you via an authentic certifiedtitlecorp.com email address from your known CTC customer contact.
- Please confirm wiring instructions verbally with your designated CTC customer contact prior to any transfer of funds. Once you initiate your wire transfer, please contact our office to confirm we have received your funds.
- CTC will not alter or change money transfer procedures prior to closing.
These measures will be in place for the foreseeable future. If there is any new information or additional procedures, they will be posted on our website.
Thank you for your time and attention. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] or 1-888-486-5511/ 410-902-5884.
