Wire Fraud Notice
Effective Date: August 1, 2026
Real estate transactions are increasingly targeted by wire fraud and email scams. To help protect yourself:
-
Never rely solely on emailed or texted wire instructions. Criminals may impersonate brokers, title companies, lenders, buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, or other parties involved in a transaction.
-
New Edge Commercial Real Estate will never send new or revised wire instructions solely by email, text message, or social media.
-
Always verify wire instructions by calling the title company or the appropriate party using a trusted telephone number obtained independently—not from the email or message you received.
-
Do not send confidential financial information through unsecured email or electronic communications unless specifically instructed to do so through a secure method.
-
If you receive suspicious wire instructions or suspect fraud, do not transfer funds. Immediately contact your real estate broker, title company, lender, financial institution, and local law enforcement.
-
If you have already sent funds, notify your bank immediately, request that the transfer be recalled, and report the incident to law enforcement as soon as possible.
Protecting your funds is a shared responsibility. Always independently verify wire instructions before sending money.
