Fraud and AI -
Here's a number for you: $12.5B That's the amount of money Americans lost to AI fueled scams in 2025. That figure could explode in 2026.

This will not be popular post. AI is the shiny new technology being infused in just about all aspects of our online and offline worlds. It's a powerful and seemingly miraculous tool that can whip out reports, essays, code, and just about any answer to any question in seconds. Businesses are jumping on this bandwagon fast!

Too, generative AI has emerged as a powerful tool for criminals, enabling the creation of hyper-realistic deepfakes, forged identities, and all-too-believable phishing scams. Financial institutions are quickly catching on, with nine out of ten banks using AI to detect fraud. A report by Feedzai noted that 90% of financial institutions are combating emerging fraud with AI-powered solutions to safeguard consumers and counter rising threats. The problem is that while legitimate companies and agencies must adhere to legal guidelines, fraudsters do not. It's a constant game of cat and mouse.

In the meantime, bad actors have gotten really good at stealing our money. What can you do to safeguard yourself and loved ones? Be skeptical, and scrutinize unsolicited emails. Double check through direct websites or call the company directly to verify. Do not use Agentic AI (autonomous AI, is a type of artificial intelligence that runs independently) for personal tasks, such as shopping bots. Turn off the generative AI function on your email and other personal devices. Each use teaches the system more about you and if, or when, you get hacked, it's like handing your keys to the kingdom to thieves.

Be safe out there.

PSA - I've noticed postings lately about property title theft. This is where bad actors use an owner's personal information and file a forged deed with the county illegally transferring title from the rightful owner to a third party.

In the case of unoccupied homes, like vacation homes, or empty lots, the fraudster might sell the property without the owner’s knowledge. Typically properties that are owned outright are targeted.

Check with your county recorder's office to see if they have a Fraud Alert program where you can receive an email alert anytime there's a recording filed on your property (ies). https://dre.ca.gov/consumers/CountyAlerts.html

And, if you don't already have owner's title insurance, consider purchasing a policy for added protection. Call Larry Parker for more information: https://corinthiantitle.com/professionals/larry-parker

How to Become the Referral Partner Everyone Trusts

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water....new fraud alert.

According to the FBI, there is an uptick in scams involving AirBnB where scammers rent the property for 28 days, pose as the actual property owner and list the property for sale. They push for quick sales in the hopes of getting the deal done before the real owners catch wind of the sale.

Orange County is the favorite target at the moment, but it could happen anywhere. Be aware and stay safe out there!
