PHISHING
Phishing emails are more frequent and creative than ever, so it’s important that we stay diligent when reviewing and monitoring our inboxes. Our team recently completed a webinar dedicated to educating participants about privacy and security. Below are some tips we found most helpful when identifying a phishing email.
WIRE FRAUD
In this day and age wire fraud is one area that places a company at higher risk. The people attempting to intercept funds are becoming more bold in their efforts and have an understanding of our industry.
We know our teams are on the front lines to act as the eyes, ears and voice that has proven time and time again to be worthwhile.
Our client presented us with an updated payoff from the existing lender. They had received an email from the borrower that the wiring instructions had been updated. Nicole Snyder, Lead Settlement Officer, recognized that this was out of the ordinary. She promptly called the client to confirm wire instructions and then found that the new payoff had in fact been altered to change the account number along with a few minor additions/deletions of wording of the wire portion. Thanks to her diligence, Nicole prevented a potential loss of $153,000.
Our team is always available to verify wiring instructions to ensure all available avenues are confirmed before proceeding.

Our main ingredient is our PEOPLE. They are the foundation to our success and provide endless value.

Now that you know our main ingredient is our PEOPLE, we want to start adding some flavor with DEDICATION. We thrive on problem solving and focusing on the special care needed for each transaction.
“You always get the little things right. And you nail the big stuff too. Accommodating, fast and smart all the way along.” – RM Loan Officer
We laid our foundation with our PEOPLE and we mixed in a big pinch of DEDICATION. Now we add one of our favorite ingredients…EXPERTISE. With decades of experience and our family recipe all for your benefit.
“I am very happy using ARS… They go over and above on every file, which makes processing my loan so much smoother. I know I can depend on them with every order.” – RM Processor
PEOPLE, DEDICATION, and EXPERTISE are out staple ingredients but our recipe wouldn’t be complete without our prized seasoning…CARE. Together you have a flavor combination that can’t be beat!
“It’s all worth it in the end. We truly change people’s lives and make better retirement… Thanks for your patience with the tough loans…and for everything you do every day. [The borrower] teared up after the closing because he was so relieved, we finally reached the finish line… I could not do it without our teamwork. Thank you all!” – RM Loan Officer

As you’re aware, many states are experiencing extreme weather which is disrupting services and causing hardship to many residents. You may notice delays with the new order searches, scheduling closings or the return of packages in these regions. Your ARS settlement team will communicate how potential delays could affect your individual files. Additionally, I wanted to pass along some information regarding deliveries that you may find helpful.
FedEx Express experienced substantial disruptions at the Memphis hub last night due to winter weather conditions. Potential delays are possible for package deliveries across the U.S. with a delivery commitment of February 18, 2021.
Please let us know if we can help in any way! Stay safe out there and thank you as always for your partnership.
Effective 2/1/2021 ARS will no longer accept orders for the state of Iowa. The state of Iowa Legislature created Iowa Title Guaranty to provide guarantees of all real property titles, facilitate mortgage lenders’ participation in the secondary market and help assure the integrity of the land title system. This link will provide you the contact information to open the order and also who would facilitate the closings/settlement.
