Description

The purpose of this course is to provide an in-depth review of recent developments in the wire fraud schemes (BEC Fraud) that continue to plague the title insurance and real estate industry to include effective means of prevention, mitigation and recovery.
 
Beginning in 2013, BEC fraud has continued to grow and evolve and target businesses of all sizes. Since January 2015 there has been a 1,300% increase in reported instances with combined actual losses more than $3.1 billion. The title agents and title insurance industry are one of the most frequent targets of these scam artists because of the transaction amounts involved and the lack of sophisticated computer and internet protocols present in the industry.
