Hello. I'm a potential first-time homebuyer. I'm watching these YouTube videos on couples who have lost over $100k or even $800k to wire fraud schemes. And each one is such a sad and scary situation.
How can I be sure the money I wire will be received by the bank entrusted by the title company?
I'd like to think I'm pretty savvy with computers and technology. I know to spot/avoid fake emails with spelling and grammatical issues. I'm aware of phone number spoofing. It's crazy how anyone can impersonate a trusted bank/authority/escrow officer in the caller ID.
Please give me and other potential homebuyers any important information or tips you have either anecdotally or from personal experience.
