Scammers are targeting real estate professionals through fake Zoom invites. They pose as out-of-town buyers, request meetings, and send links that look legitimate—but one click can expose your login credentials and compromise your business. 

These fake meeting links can install malware, steal data, and grant unauthorized access to your professional accounts. 

MRED is committed to keeping subscribers informed and safeguarding their interests. Our goal is to ensure you always have the tools, information, and awareness to recognize digital threats before they impact your business. 

You can stop scammers before they start. Here’s how: 

• Verify the sender’s email. Only open invites from verified business addresses. 

• Hover before you click. Legitimate Zoom links come from zoom.us or zoom.com. 

• Avoid vague or urgent messages. Scammers rely on pressure and fear. 

• Use your Zoom app directly. Enter the meeting ID instead of clicking links in emails. 

• Delete suspicious downloads. If an email tells you to install “new Zoom software,” it’s a red flag. 

By staying alert and informed, you protect more than just your login credentials—you’re safeguarding your business, your clients’ trust, and your data security.
