Some mortgage and home-service mailings can resemble legitimate lender communications. Verify unexpected requests independently before sharing information or sending payment.
Warning signs
Be cautious of documents that resemble invoices, create unusual urgency, or ask you to respond or pay before you have independently verified the sender.
Verify independently
Use contact information from a trusted statement or official website rather than calling a number supplied in an unexpected mailing.
Protect your information
Pause before providing financial or personal information. Suspicious physical mail should be handled securely, and sensitive documents should be disposed of carefully.
