How do I keep my down payment from being stolen by wire fraud when I buy on North Charleston?

Protecting a down payment from wire fraud when buying in North Charleston means calling the title company or closing attorney directly, using a phone number obtained independently rather than from an email, before sending any wire, and never trusting new wiring instructions that arrive by email alone late in the process. Scammers frequently target real estate closings around this exact moment. Brian Beatty walks every North Charleston buyer through verified wiring steps before closing.
