Add review where client funds are discussed

Select the mailboxes that handle settlement, trust, client, or vendor payment instructions and give risky messages a clear review path.

Know what changed

A credible message can imitate a client, colleague, counterparty, or adviser during a time-sensitive matter.

Flag

WireSnare reviews new mail in the selected mailbox and can flag a suspicious payment message.

Review

Open the dashboard flag and compare its reason with the message, sender, and normal process.

Verify and respond

Pause before acting. Confirm through a known contact method, then follow your response process.

What to review

  • Changed settlement instructions
  • Requests involving client or trust funds
  • Sender details that differ from the known contact

What to do next

  • Review the message and flag together.
  • Confirm through the firm's trusted records.
  • Escalate under the firm's payment controls.

A flag is a prompt for review, not proof of fraud. WireSnare does not guarantee prevention. Always verify payment instructions independently before sending funds.
