Wire fraud is the number-one threat in real estate closings. Criminals impersonate title companies and send fake “updated” wiring instructions by email. Before you wire funds to your closing, take two minutes to confirm you have Atlantic Title Firm’s real instructions.
If you receive an email, text, or call saying Atlantic Title Firm’s wiring instructions have “changed,” or giving you a “new” bank account — stop. It is fraud. We will never send you updated wire instructions electronically, and we will never ask you to wire to a different account than the one we confirm with you by phone.
Call Atlantic Title Firm at the number below — taken from this website or your signed engagement letter, not from an email or a text. Fraudsters put their own phone numbers in fake emails.
Ask us to verbally confirm the receiving bank name, account number, and routing number. Match them against the instructions you have in hand before you send anything.
Never wire based solely on an email. If anything feels rushed or “different,” slow down and call. When in doubt, do not send.
Act fast. The first few hours matter most for recovering funds.
Atlantic Title Firm takes the security of your funds seriously. When your closing approaches, we’ll walk you through our secure process — and we’ll always take your call to confirm wiring details before you send. Never hesitate to pick up the phone.
Questions about your wire, your closing, or a suspicious email? Call our team — we’re here to protect your funds.
Leave your name, phone, and email and our team will reach out — fast and friendly, no obligation.
