I need to close fast. Does moving quickly make me more vulnerable to wire fraud?

Moving quickly on a closing can increase wire fraud risk if it means less time to double-check instructions, since scammers specifically target buyers and sellers who are rushed and more likely to skip verifying a wiring instruction by phone before sending funds. The core protection stays the same regardless of speed: always call your attorney's office directly, using a number you already had before the transaction, to verify wiring instructions rather than trusting an email alone. Georgia closing attorneys are used to walking clients through this verification even on a tight timeline. Joel Boss flags wire verification with every client at the start of closing, not just at the end.
