Instead of celebrating a closing, some US home buyers lost everything.

Always call the closing attorney's office before initiating the wire transfer on closing day. Back when I closed, I called their office and did a read-back on the wire information they had sent to make sure it was genuine. Once that money is wired there's no take-backs

Well the article plainly states that half the wire transfers were able to be reversed/taken back....

When I closed last year they refused to give any wire details in writing and told us so multiple times.

Wait, really? I would go to a different title company then, you don't have to go with the one your real estate agent or the seller happen to like, pick one you're comfortable with.
