Fraud, and particularly cybercrime fraud, is on the increase. In one rather startling example recently, a Sydney agent saw over $750,000 disappear from their Trust Account. Click here to read the story.
In this webinar, we’ve asked two senior experts from Macquarie Bank to provide an update on current fraud trends and risks, and some tips on how to reduce your risks. In particular they will:
- Update you on the current fraud and cybercrime trends that can affect your real estate business, as well as your own personal life;
- Share real life examples of how the industry is being targeted by increasingly sophisticated fraudsters; and
- Provide practical advice and tips on how your business and team can mitigate the risks by following correct procedures and avoiding potential losses.
They will also allow plenty of time to answer any questions you have on protecting your business against fraud.
