C.A.R. members should be aware of a growing phishing scam targeting listing inquiries being sent through popular real estate portals. The scam begins with what appears to be a legitimate inquiry referencing an actual property listing, often followed by friendly messages requesting a quick Zoom call to discuss details.
According to reports from real estate agents across multiple markets, the Zoom links are malicious and designed to install malware onto a device. Once installed, the software can monitor email conversations involving title companies, lenders, and clients in an effort to intercept and alter wire instructions — a common tactic used in real estate wire fraud schemes.
REALTORS® are reporting receiving multiple suspicious inquiries each day. Warning signs include repeated inquiries from the same person across several listings within a short period of time, vague or generic messages, and unsolicited requests to move conversations to video calls before any direct phone contact or in-person showing.
Be cautious, avoid clicking unknown links, and verify prospective buyers through direct phone calls or scheduled property showings before engaging further.
