A Fund Member reported a business impersonation scam targeting real estate transactions in Florida. Fraudsters pretended to be a legitimate seller and directed the buyer’s agent to use a fake title company for escrow funds. The scam involved forged identification, stolen branding from a real Fund Member, and a Google phone number mimicking the legitimate company's name on caller ID.

The scam was uncovered when the buyer’s agent grew suspicious of the scammers’ lack of real estate knowledge and verified the company’s contact details with the real Fund Member. No money was sent by the buyers. For more information clik here
