Before sending exchange funds, call North Oak Exchange at 601-870-8242 using a number obtained independently—not a number supplied only in the wiring email.
Wire and information security
Stop. Verify. Then wire.
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.
- Preserve the email, headers, instructions, telephone numbers, and other evidence.
- Follow the financial institution’s fraud-reporting instructions and consult appropriate legal or law-enforcement resources.
This page provides general fraud-prevention information. No electronic transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure, and these precautions do not replace the security procedures of your bank, closing professional, or other advisers.
