IMPORTANT WARNING REGARDING REAL ESTATE WIRE FRAUD

Real estate transactions have become a frequent target of cybercriminals. Wire fraud schemes are becoming increasingly sophisticated and may involve fraudulent emails, text messages, phone calls, hacked email accounts, fake websites, or other methods designed to trick buyers, sellers, lenders, attorneys, title companies, and real estate professionals into sending funds to unauthorized accounts.

Dream Catcher Realty LLC is committed to helping consumers protect themselves from wire fraud and cybercrime. This notice is provided as a consumer awareness and risk reduction measure.

NEVER SEND FUNDS BASED SOLELY ON AN EMAIL

Before sending any wire transfer, cashier’s check, or other funds related to a real estate transaction:

• Independently verify all wire instructions.
• Call the title company, closing attorney, lender, or other authorized party using a trusted telephone number obtained from a known source.
• Verify wire instructions verbally before transmitting funds.
• Confirm any changes to wiring instructions directly with the receiving institution.

WARNING SIGNS OF WIRE FRAUD

Be cautious if you receive:

• Last-minute changes to wire instructions.
• Requests for secrecy or urgency.
• Emails containing spelling or grammatical errors.
• Emails from unfamiliar addresses.
• Requests to send funds to a different account.
• Communications claiming prior instructions are no longer valid.

DREAM CATCHER REALTY LLC POLICY

Dream Catcher Realty LLC does not guarantee the accuracy of wire instructions transmitted through email and strongly discourages consumers from relying solely on electronic communications when transmitting funds.

Consumers should always independently verify wire instructions with the title company, attorney, lender, or financial institution handling the transaction.

IF YOU SUSPECT FRAUD

If you believe you have been the victim of wire fraud:

• Contact your bank immediately.
• Contact the receiving bank immediately.
• Notify local law enforcement.
• Report the incident to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
• Notify your title company, lender, attorney, and real estate professional immediately.

TIME IS CRITICAL

In many cases, immediate action may improve the chances of recovering transferred funds. Delays may significantly reduce recovery opportunities.
