Just received the following email from Signature Closers:
FRAUD ALERT!
HELOC SCHEME
We have recently been made aware of a very serious fraud scheme circulating. A third party is pulling information from the recorded documents and calling the notary to pretend to need more information from the closing. They are then going to the bank branches to draw on the HELOC.
If you receive a call from anyone asking for Non-Public Personal Information (NPPI) regarding a closing you completed, do NOT give it to them under any circumstances.
Examples of NPPI
• Names, Addresses, Phone Numbers
• Account Numbers
• Loan Payoff Amounts and Statements
• Credit Card Statements
• Closing Disclosure and Settlement Statements
• Insurance, Drivers License, Tax Information
• Social Security Numbers & Date of Birth
• Title Related Items Such As: Sales Price, Commission Amounts, Loan Fees
• Anything Listed on the Loan Application
Please protect yourself and your signers.
Thank you.
