Fraud Advisory

Wire Fraud and email hacking/phishing are on the rise and are real threats!

You must act diligently to protect yourself from becoming a victim of fraud.

For your security, please review the following items to help ensure the safe transfer of funds.

• The most common attempts to divert funds are an email that appears to be coming from the settlement agent informing you how to wire funds, or alerting you of a change to the wiring instructions. Note! We will never email you regarding wiring funds!
• They snip or simulate signatures and logos to make the email look authentic.
• This is not a real email and was not originated by FNTE and It is very possible your email account has been hacked.
• If you receive such an email you may want to consider changing your email password.
• DO NOT RESPOND TO OR FORWARD ANY EMAIL ASKING YOU TO CHANGE WHERE FUNDS ARE WIRED
• Before sending any wire call us to verify the instructions at 401-847-3080
• Use only verified wire instructions to send any funds.
• Educate yourself about consumer fraud by visiting the CFPB website https://www.consumerfinance.gov/consumer-tools/fraud/

FNTE is not responsible for wire fraud or the loss of funds resulting from altered wiring instructions or instructions from a non FNTE email account.
