FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - June 5, 2025 - PRLog -- On the 22nd anniversary of his company, Kevin Tacher, Founder and CEO of Independence Title, is releasing his most personal—and urgent—project to date:
"Intercepted: A True Story of Wire Fraud and the Race to Recover."
The book chronicles a shocking incident that occurred on April 3, 2025, when a routine real estate wire transfer for $275,784.04 was intercepted by a sophisticated cybercriminal posing as the seller. What followed was a relentless, multi-agency race against time involving banks, the FBI, the Secret Service, and intense legal and insurance negotiations.
"This could happen to anyone," said Tacher. "We had protocols. We had experience. And still—someone slipped through. Intercepted isn't just a story—it's a roadmap to prevent others from going through this nightmare."
The book exposes the alarming vulnerabilities in real estate transactions and highlights the tools, procedures, and human connections that ultimately led to freezing the fraudulent account and partially recovering the funds. Tacher's goal is to equip every buyer, seller, real estate agent, and business owner with the knowledge to spot red flags and act fast.
Highlights of the book include:
- The exact moment the fraud was discovered—and how the scam worked
- A breakdown of who helped (and who didn't) when minutes mattered most
- Step-by-step prevention tools for real estate professionals and business owners
- The emotional and professional toll—and how to rebuild trust
Launch Date: July 7, 2025
Where to Buy: Available for pre-sale notifications at TitleRate.com/Intercepted
Launch Goal: 500 copies sold nationwide on Day 1
