Protection Tips for Families & Professionals
Financial Protection Alert
Americans lose an estimated $119 billion to online scams every year. Cyber fraud and financial mistakes are increasing every day. A few simple precautions can help protect your family and assets.
1. Use a Professional Business Email
Avoid using personal emails like Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail for professional/business communication. A private business-domain email is generally safer and more professional.
2. Wire Transfer Safety for Real-Estate Purchases
When sending wire transfers for real-estate purchases:
- ✅ Send a small test amount first
- ✅ Confirm receipt before sending the balance
- ✅ Verify wiring instructions directly with the title company using a trusted phone number
- ✅ Be cautious of last-minute email changes
3. Review Financial & Insurance Accounts Regularly
- ✔️ Add your spouse as primary beneficiary
- ✔️ Add children as contingent beneficiaries
- ✔️ Keep records updated to avoid future complications
Small precautions today can prevent major financial problems tomorrow.
