What evidence is needed to prove wire fraud?

Prosecutors often rely heavily on financial documents and records as part of their evidence. This can include bank statements, wire transfer records, credit card statements, invoices, contracts and more. The primary goal is to show a correlation between your activities and the fraudulent scheme alleged.

Wire fraud is a serious felony offense that can result in many years of prison time. Typically, a single count of wire fraud can result in up to 20 years in prison, a fine, or both.

What is wire fraud in real estate closings?

Real estate wire fraud occurs when a scammer tricks you into sending your down payment or closing costs to them instead of the right person. The FBI reports that homeowners lost more than $145 million in 2023 due to real estate fraud.

How do banks investigate wire fraud?

Investigators analyze transaction data, looking for fraud indicators such as location data, timestamps, and IP addresses. They may request additional information from the customer to understand user behavior and identify how the fraud occurred.
