Stopping Cyber Fraud

Electronic communication has become a way of life as has the practice of conducting financial transactions, which are part and parcel of a real estate closing, electronically. Unfortunately, the ease of communication in the cyber age and the widespread use of programs to reach thousands of email accounts with a single message has led to an assault on our industry by domestic and foreign actors bent on committing fraud. This seminar provides an overview of the risks of "Business Email Compromise" to real estate lawyers and title agents, and suggests ethical best practices to avoid falling for fraudulent schemes which use email as a tool to perpetrate them.
