Tips for Identifying a Phishing Email

/in /by

Phishing emails are more frequent 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. 

  •  Not personalized. For example: The introduction will read “Dear Customer”
  • Poor grammar, overuse of capitalization and spelling errors.
  • From a nondescript or incorrect email address.
  • Reply-To address is different than sender’s address.
  • Asks for account information.
  • Contains threats and commands,
  • No direct contact information given.
  • Before clicking a link, hover over it to confirm that you are being directed to the site displayed.

Title Tidbits: Reviewing Your Title Commitment

/in /by

Below are some tips from ARS’ Underwriting Counsel/Title Manager, Kevin Weaver.

  • Always be sure to read your title commitment and Title Commitment Review Sheet. This will help identify the exceptions and requirements that may need to be fulfilled in order to meet your closing date.
  • Keep the borrower up to date on any additional documents that may be needed. For example; If  your transaction is utilizing a POA, it would be beneficial to send to your Settlement Team in advance. This will ensure that the document is in fact an original and can record at closing. Should an original death cert be required, be sure you obtain in advance as often times the vital records need to be ordered and this could delay your closing.
  • Your settlement team is ready and available, so be sure that you keep them updated on status. This will help the file close smoothly and quickly with the best experience for the borrower.
