MAR Legal Hotline: Wire Fraud

Southern Maine Real Estate October 26, 2017

Cyber fraud is rampant and it's happening in Maine - be careful and diligent. If you believe that you are involved in a wire fraud situation:

1) Contact the financial institution immediately and ask them to do a "swift recall".

2) Then call your local law enforcement immediately (town police department or county sheriff's office) to report the incident.

3) Then call the FBI immediately (24 hours or less) and let them know you are reporting the incident within 24 hours. Your chances of recovery are greater with less than 24-hour reporting.

To contact the FBI in Maine:

Augusta: (207) 622-2902

Bangor: (207) 947-6670

Portland: (207) 774-9322

If you have questions or any doubts about an email you have received, call your REALTOR.
