Smishing (SMS phishing) is a type of fraud where scammers use text messages to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information such as bank details, login credentials, or wire transfer instructions.
In real estate transactions, smishing scams often target buyers, sellers, agents, or escrow officers. A scammer may send a message posing as a lender, escrow company, or real estate agent, providing fake wire instructions or urgent requests for payment. If funds are sent to the fraudulent account, they are often difficult or impossible to recover out.
