Payment fraud in real estate isn't slowing down. Criminals are becoming harder to catch, AI-assisted impersonation is making familiar communications less trustworthy, and the financial and reputational impact of a successful wire fraud incident can be severe. Join CertifID for a timely session focused on the scale of the threat, the weaknesses fraudsters exploit, and the safeguards that can help protect real estate transactions.

Co-Founder & CEO, CertifID
Tyler is a cybersecurity and fraud subject matter expert leading CertifID's work to protect real estate transactions from wire fraud and help victims recover stolen funds.
Fraudsters are using increasingly sophisticated impersonation tactics, including AI, to make fraudulent communications look and sound legitimate. As a result, familiar safeguards such as emails and callbacks can no longer be trusted on their own.
The challenge is not only identifying suspicious activity, but doing so before money moves and while the transaction is still recoverable.
This webinar puts the threat into a practical context. Participants will be challenged to think like both the fraudster and the defender, recognize warning signs, and better understand how real estate professionals can strengthen transaction security before funds are sent.
