Beware of AI Scams During Home Closings: How One Closing Attorney Caught a Fraudster
In an increasingly digital world, scams are evolving, and homebuyers and sellers need to stay vigilant. Recently, a closing attorney encountered a high-tech scam that involved AI-generated identities. A scammer used AI to create a lifelike figure to impersonate a real person in an attempt to notarize documents remotely. The AI avatar even had a realistic-looking ID. However, the scam fell apart when the attorney, sensing something was off, asked the figure to raise its hand. Since the AI wasn’t programmed to respond to that command, it failed, revealing the scam.
This story is a powerful reminder that, while remote notarization can be convenient, it’s essential to work with professionals who can spot potential fraud. Don’t let scammers outsmart you! Whether you’re buying or selling, always use experienced, trustworthy professionals throughout the process.
