Any time you are transferring trust funds, by any means, in any kind of legal matter, you are at risk of funds transfer frauds and must verify emailed instructions through direct phone or in-person contact. Review our recent Notice to Lawyers to learn about the details of funds transfer frauds and access additional resources. If you think you have been a victim of a funds transfer fraud, immediately notify your bank and request a clawback of the funds. Next, contact your IT department and cyber insurer to ensure the fraudster is not lurking in your system, and then report to us.
