Fraud Prevention: How & Why?

In this video, we’re discussing the Share Lawyers Fraud Prevention Agreement, which you need to sign as soon as possible.

The Fraud Prevention Agreement ensures your settlement funds come directly to you and aren’t intercepted by fraudsters. It’s a legal requirement to protect you from fraud.

To protect you, we need your instructions on how settlement funds should be sent to you. These instructions will be included in the Fraud Prevention Agreement. At the end of your case, we’ll follow these instructions to send your funds. If the instructions change, we’ll verify it’s you who made the change.

What do we need from you now? How do you want your settlement funds sent?

1. We can mail a cheque to a specific address.

2. You can pick up a cheque at our Toronto office.

3. We can transfer funds directly to your bank account. For this option, please send us a VOID cheque or a Direct Deposit Form with your bank details. Make sure this info is for the bank you want the funds transferred to.

This may seem premature, but it’s to ensure no fraud occurs at the end of your case.

We look forward to receiving your instructions and will then email you the Fraud Prevention Agreement to sign electronically.
