How do I get my money back after wire fraud on my house closing?
Home buyers wire closing funds to spoofed title company instructions, report it within an hour, and still wait months while the sending and receiving banks argue over a routine indemnity letter.
Who has it: First time home buyers, and the title companies and real estate agents who handle closings.

A wire fraud recovery case manager: generate the IC3 report, the recall request and the indemnity letter request in the exact format each bank expects, track every deadline and contact, and escalate to the CFPB and regulators on schedule.
Tools that solve this
3 named so far, and where each one stops.
- Wire verification tools (CertifID, Closinglock)
Verify instructions before the wire, if the title company uses them.
- FBI IC3 reporting and the Financial Fraud Kill Chain
Can freeze funds when reported fast, but the victim is left chasing banks after.
- Bank fraud departments
Slow, and front line staff often treat an in person wire as authorised.
