Freight brokers & 3PLs
A carrier you have never used emails on a hot load, or a setup packet arrives with new remit-to details. Check the web address behind the email before you tender or pay.
Typical wire $3K – $60K
How freight brokers use itIndustries
Who this is for
Same story everywhere: money or freight about to move, a company you have never dealt with, and no time to check them out.
Construction & trades
Material deposits and sub draws move fast on a schedule nobody wants to slip. A supplier whose web address is three weeks old is worth a phone call first.
Typical wire $5K – $150K
Heavy equipment & machinery
Used machines are bought sight unseen with a deposit up front. Copycat spellings of established dealers are the common trick.
Typical wire $15K – $250K
Containers & drayage
Container sales and drayage prepay often start with a cold email and end with a wire. The public record on the sender takes about twelve seconds to read.
Typical wire $3K – $60K
Manufacturing & supply
Tooling deposits and first purchase orders go to suppliers with no history in your system. Any change in bank details deserves a voice call on a number you found yourself.
Typical wire $10K – $500K
Agriculture
Seasonal buying means new sellers every year, often found online. Web address age and mail setup separate a real operation from a page put up last month.
Typical wire $8K – $200K
Commercial real estate
Earnest money and closing funds are the largest single wires most people ever send, and the emails around them are a known target.
Typical wire $25K – $2M
Typical wire ranges are illustrative transaction sizes on one shared $3K–$2M scale — not loss estimates.
