PROTECT Your Information When you buy or sell a home, you'll be required to submit personal information to your lender, realtor and settlement/escrow agent. This information may include Social Security numbers, bank account numbers and credit and loan account numbers. Unfortunately, would-be fraudsters sometimes attempt to steal personal information and money through real estate transactions. Call your escrow officer or settlement agent immediately if you receive an email requesting to change the wiring instructions for your transaction. Carefully review your personal information on your transaction paperwork to ensure it is correct. Communicate or confirm any changes to the transaction with your real estate, escrow or settlement agent over the phone or in person. Do not provide information about yourself or your transaction to any unknown or unnecessary parties. Contact your settlement agent or real estate agent if you suspect your email address is being improperly used or if you do not receive funds in a timely fashion.
