#ICYMI

Just In case you missed it Lloyd’s bank recently published an article warning of a worrying rise in conveyancing fraud which has seen the threat increase by 29% over the last year.
Conveyancing scams typically happen when with the solicitor or homebuyer has their email account hacked. Sometimes the fraudster can send emails directly from the solicitor’s email account but usually they will create a spoof email address which looks very similar. Because they have seen the genuine chain, the emails they send will look extremely convincing, using the same name, logos and signatures. In some cases, the fraudsters may call the victim to impersonate someone working at the solicitors, to reinforce the urgency of making the payment.
The homebuyer is then tricked into sending their money to a bank account controlled by the criminals.
