Mobile Mondays | Anatomy of a Real Estate Scam: AI Deepfakes, Fake Sellers, Hijacked Emails and Wire Fraud
September 21 @ 1:00 pm – 1:30 pm
You’ve heard the warnings. Don’t click suspicious links. Verify the seller. Never trust changed wire instructions. But how does the scam actually happen?
Let’s take the crime apart.
Join “Tracey, the Safety Lady” Hawkins for a REALTOR® Safety Month show-and-tell that goes inside real-life real estate crimes from North Carolina and across the country. See how criminals hijack email accounts and quietly watch transactions, impersonate property owners, create convincing fake documents, use AI deepfakes and voice cloning, and position themselves to steal money.
We’ll break down how each crime starts, how it works, what agents should watch for and, most importantly, where to stop it.
Come ready to see the scams differently and leave with practical steps to better protect your clients, transactions, commissions and reputation.
See it. Spot it. Stop it.
