in person, for example, by the seller at a closing.
Finally, everyone in the firm should be trained to be suspicious and learn how to spot these kinds of scams. Underscore the necessity of remaining vigilant at all times. Training examples that address how these attacks look today might include the following. Look for inconsistencies with email such as various email addresses in use and different spellings of a name. Always carefully check the address of relevant email coming in to make sure it exactly matches the previously verified address in your file. Always question requests for money to be sent to an account that is not in the name of the seller or not in the jurisdiction where the seller is. Be suspicious of requests to wire money when key personnel, such as the attorney in a solo practice, is out of the office or requests that are urgent in nature. And last but not least, remind everyone that just because the grammar and spelling looks great, that doesn’ t mean the email is legit. Scammers have spell check too, and many of these scammers draft very well-written email.
