Are you the victim of wire fraud?
Information security and wire transfer fraud are critical topics for the land title insurance and settlement industry. Wire transfer fraud is a threat to every title operation regardless of size, location or years in business. Both the CFPB and ALTA have provided guidance on what to do if you are the victim of wire fraud.
