Protection Tips for Families & Professionals

Protection tips for families and professionals against online scams and financial fraud

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.
