Answer

Is it safe to trust payment instructions sent by email when buying in Mallorca?

Not by themselves. Email instructions can be altered, and a sudden change in bank details is a common warning sign in property fraud cases. If you are buying in Mallorca, always confirm any payment request by phone through a verified source and ask your lawyer to review it.
