๐จ Real estate scammers are targeting agents โ and I have the receipts.
In ONE week, I received emails from fake โbuyersโ on my listings AND fake title companies trying to get me to click malicious links.
Hereโs their playbook: ๐ They find your listing on Compass or Zillow ๐ They send a professional-looking email pretending to be an interested buyer ๐ They push HARD for a Zoom or Google Meet link โ one THEY control ๐ You click โ they access your email โ they send fake wire instructions to ALL your contacts
They also impersonate real title companies like First American Title โ complete with spoofed logos โ sending fake settlement statements and HUD closing documents with phishing links embedded inside. It looks completely legitimate. The email address is the only giveaway.
๐ฉ Red flags to watch for:
Gmail address with no phone number
Wonโt do a regular phone call โ only wants Zoom or Google Meet
Relocation or couple story to create urgency
Professional-sounding name but personal Gmail
Settlement or HUD email coming from a non-title-company domain
Links to โpreviewโ wire instructions or closing documents
โ ๏ธ NEVER click an unsolicited link. ALWAYS call your title company directly using a number YOU look up โ not one provided in the email.
Save this. Share it with every agent you know. This is happening daily.
