Phishing is not just a problem for consumers, but also for you. An FBI report said the number of phishing victims involving real estate transactions rose 1,110 percent between 2015 to 2017. The report said losses rose nearly 2,200 percent. How you guard against and respond to phishing scams can help you retain your client's goodwill you've worked to develop. This webinar will review: (1) how to recognize potential threats in your email, including how to identify fraudulent messages; (2) best practices that safeguard your client's personal information; and (3) what to do if clients contact you upset that they responded to a phishing email from someone impersonating you.
