Wire fraud is a serious and growing risk in real estate. Read this before you send any funds.
This advisory applies to real estate transactions involving The McDonald Group (brokered by Fathom Realty, LLC in Texas and Dillard Cies Real Estate in Oklahoma) and NTX Realty Trust.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Never trust wiring instructions sent via email. Cyber criminals are hacking email accounts and sending emails with fake wiring instructions. These emails are convincing and sophisticated. Always independently confirm wiring instructions in person or via a telephone call to a trusted and verified phone number. Never wire money without double-checking that the wiring instructions are correct.
Please exercise caution when sending money via a wire transfer.
This notice is not intended to provide legal advice. You should consult with a lawyer if you have any questions.
