ANI R E SAFE Inquire before you wire? <br /> WIRE FRAUD ALERT <br /> This Notice is not intended to provide legal or professional advice. <br /> If you have any questions, please consult with a lawyer. <br /> All parties to a real estate transaction are targets for wire fraud and many have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars <br /> because they simply relied on the wire instructions received via email, without further verification. if funds are to be wired <br /> in conjunction with this real estate transaction, we strongly recommend verbal verification of wire instructions <br /> through a known, trusted phone number prior to sending funds. <br /> In addition, the following non-exclusive self-protection strategies are recommended to minimize exposure to possible wire <br /> fraud. <br /> • NEVER RELY on emails purporting to change wire instructions. Parties to a transaction rarely change wire <br /> instructions in the course of a transaction. <br /> • ALWAYS VERIFY wire instructions, specifically the ABA routing number and account number, by calling the party who <br /> sent the instructions to you. DO NOT use the phone number provided in the email containing the instructions, use <br /> phone numbers you have called before or can otherwise verify. Obtain the number of relevant parties to the <br /> transaction as soon as an escrow account is opened. DO NOT send an email to verify as the email address may <br /> be incorrect or the email may be intercepted by the fraudster. <br /> • USE COMPLEX EMAIL PASSWORDS that employ a combination of mixed case, numbers, and symbols. Make your <br /> passwords greater than eight (8) characters. Also, change your password often and do NOT reuse the same <br /> password for other online accounts. <br /> • USE MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION for email accounts. Your email provider or IT staff may have specific <br /> instructions on how to implement this feature. <br /> For more information on wire-fraud scams or to report an incident, please refer to the following links: <br /> Federal Bureau of Investigation: Internet Crime Complaint Center: <br /> http://www.fbi...qov littp;//www.ic3.pov <br /> Wire Fraud Alert <br /> Page 9 <br /> Original Effective Date: 5/1 1 120 1 7 <br /> Current Version Date: 5/1 1 120 1 7 FBSC2600762-WiRE0016(DSI Rev.12107/17) <br /> TM and Co Fidelity National Financial,Inc.and/or an affiliate.
