IN - Wire Fraud & Identity Theft In Real Estate
2-Hour Elective Education.
Identity theft and wire fraud are the fastest-growing crimes in America during the real estate transaction for the very obvious reason that most of us have made our most valuable personal information — name, address, social security number, driver’s license, credit card number, etc. — available online.
According to Bureau of Justice statistics, more than 16.7 Americans were victims of identity theft in 2017. Fraud losses during real estate transaction, in some manner or another, totaled $16.8 million. At least 143-million Americans were affected by the Equifax breach. Banks (JP Morgan Chase), retailers (Target) and web services (Yahoo) have all been hacked.
This course is designed to give the agent the knowledge to help their client remain safe during the already stressful period of a real estate sale or purchase by knowing the signs and “red” flags associated with nefarious behavior.
