Keeping Your Funds Safe: How Diamond Valley Escrow Protects Against Wire Fraud

Wire fraud is one of the biggest threats in real estate today, and at Diamond Valley Escrow, we take that threat seriously. Scammers are constantly trying to intercept closing funds through fake emails and phishing attempts—but we’ve got your back.

Here’s how we protect your money:

1. Wire Fraud Advisory
   We include a formal advisory in our opening package, modeled after C.A.R. recommendations, so buyers and sellers are educated on the risks right away.
2. Constant Reminders
   Our email signatures and verbal communications include consistent warnings about fraud and how to avoid it.
3. No Account Numbers in Emails
   We purposely leave off account numbers from our wire instructions. This means you must call us directly to verify everything—just one more step to keep your funds safe.
4. Encrypted Email Process
   We offer a secure email portal with step-by-step instructions included in your welcome package. If anyone tries to bypass it, we’ll know.

🛑 Rule of Thumb: If you get new wire instructions via email—STOP. Call us directly using a verified number before sending a single cent.

At Diamond Valley Escrow, your safety is our #1 priority. We’re always looking out for you—and your money.
