Real-estate transactions are frequent targets for impersonation and wire fraud. Independently verify instructions before any transfer.
Before sending funds
Call North Oak Exchange at 601-870-8242 and verbally confirm the complete instructions through a trusted contact.
Do not rely solely on an email that changes wiring instructions, the receiving bank, account information, timing, or contact details. Stop and verify through a known channel.
Do not send Social Security numbers, complete bank-account information, passwords, or other sensitive identifiers through the website questionnaire or ordinary email.
Closing professionals and exchangers should confirm the recipient, bank, account details, and transaction purpose before authorizing a transfer.
If something looks wrong
Do not send or resend the wire.
- Call North Oak Exchange and the closing professional through independently verified numbers.
- Contact the sending financial institution immediately if funds may have been misdirected.
