## Resource

Scammers are targeting Scottish solicitors with deadly Payment Diversion Fraud, hacking emails to fake trusted professionals and steal property deposits—often hitting victims for £80,000. With huge sums at stake, even one misstep can ruin lives and erode trust in the legal system. The NCA and Law Society urge lawyers to verify every payment directly with clients, never trusting email changes. A quick pause and verification could save your client’s future.
