Email and financial fraud continue to become more sophisticated. Scammers can create messages that look remarkably similar to legitimate emails from a CPA, financial advisor, attorney, bank, or other trusted professional.
We want our clients to remember one simple rule:
Our firm will never send you an email asking you to initiate a wire transfer.
If you ever receive an email, text message, or other communication that appears to come from someone at our firm asking you to wire money, do not act on the request. Even if the message looks legitimate, references people you know, or appears to come from a familiar email address, take a moment to second-guess it and contact our office directly.
When Money Is Involved, Verify First
Fraudulent messages are often designed to create urgency and encourage you to act before taking time to verify the request.
If something seems unusual, unexpected, or even slightly “off,” trust that instinct.
Before transferring funds or changing payment instructions:
- Stop and independently verify the request.
- Do not rely solely on the contact information contained in the questionable message.
- Call our office using a phone number you already know and trust.
- Never hesitate to ask us whether a communication actually came from our firm.
