Real estate BEC reports with a real estate nexus reported to IC3 in 2022
FBI warning
Attackers target buyers, sellers, title companies, attorneys, and agents around wire instructions
These are broader FBI and IC3 risk signals, not Inbox Vital customer data. They show why closing email with a real estate nexus is worth checking before a buyer has to question it.
[ why it matters ]
Closing work runs on trusted messages.
An impostor does not need to break your whole system. They only need one believable message at the right moment: a wire update, escrow question, title document, or lender request that looks routine.
Buyers and sellers expect closing updates to be real.
You send wire instructions, escrow updates, lender requests, and deadline-sensitive documents.
A small change in sender trust can turn routine email into a risky judgment call.
Your email setup depends on several services that can drift after routine changes.
[ spoofing in plain english ]
Spoofing is when someone sends an email that appears to come from your company, even though you did not send it.
The protection is not magic. Inboxes look for a few signals that answer simple questions. Inbox Vital checks those signals and explains the weak spots without making you read record syntax.
SPF
Who is allowed to send?
This check lists the services that are allowed to send mail for your domain.
DKIM
Was the message signed?
This check helps inboxes confirm that a message came from an approved sender.
DMARC
What should inboxes do?
This policy tells inboxes what to do when a message pretends to be from you but fails the checks.
[ how we help ]
See the exposure, then keep it watched.
Inbox Vital turns the technical checks into a short readout: what is healthy, what is risky, and what needs to change. You can hand the fix to the person who manages your domain and get back to the deal.
Scan my company's domain- Find missing or weak sender protection.
- Flag policies that only watch suspicious mail instead of asking inboxes to block it.
- Show plain English fixes you can hand to your IT provider, domain host, or email administrator.
- Keep watching so a future tool change does not quietly reopen the issue.
[ real moments ]
The risky message rarely looks dramatic.
The problem usually looks ordinary enough to pass through a busy closing day. That is why the domain layer is worth checking before clients, lenders, or escrow teams have to make a judgment call.
Fake wire instructions
A buyer receives a message that appears to come from your company with new wiring instructions before closing.
Scan. Explain. Monitor.
Escrow update spoof
A message looks like a routine title or escrow update, but the link or attachment is built to steal credentials.
Scan. Explain. Monitor.
Closing delivery failure
A lender request, inspection update, signed document, or final reminder gets filtered because your email setup broke after a routine change.
Scan. Explain. Monitor.
