Wire Services

If you need to wire money, make sure it’s going to someone you know and trust. Never wire money to anyone claiming to work at a government agency or well-known firm who pressures you into paying or tries to sell you something over the phone. If you do, you’ll forfeit the protections wire transfers provide. Note: It’s illegal for a telemarketer to ask you to pay with a wire transfer. Report them if they do.*
