2021 is an extremely dangerous time to be dealing with property transactions if necessary checks are not followed. Make sure your livelihood isn’t at risk. Make sure your Solicitor/Conveyancer uses Lawyer Checker.
Lawyer Checker is pleased to be launching a new product to help legal professionals effectively secure their firm’s email.
We’re continually highlighting cases where a conveyancer has fallen victim to online fraud. More often than not, a last-minute change of bank account details will be emailed over by a fraudster, pretending to be the vendor’s solicitor. Unfortunately, the change will be made, and the funds transferred.
The Easter period is well known to see an increase in fraud attempts against conveyancers.
A consumer has been left almost £600,000 out of pocket after falling victim to a conveyancing scam.
Across the legal sector, awareness of fraud has soared over the past year.
