Today’s title and escrow professionals aren’t just deal facilitators. They’re often the first line of defense for their clients.
In this special episode of To Catch a Fraudster, we’re taking you behind the scenes with industry insiders who’ve gone beyond damage control and started fighting back.
You’ll hear the real, raw story of our Executive Chairman Tom’s take down of Black Axe, a global cybercriminal syndicate that targeted his title firm (and led to CertifiD). He’ll be joined by Chris Luttrell, a practicing real estate attorney and active fraud fighter, to discuss his efforts, tactics, and stories around thwarting the fraudsters who target his firm today.
They’ll also be joined by former Managing Director of U.S. Secret Service’s Global Investigative Operations Center, Matt O’Neill, who will unpack the mindset of criminal networks and show how real estate professionals can build stronger defenses and smarter responses.
Join us to learn how others in your space are fighting back and how you can best prepare for the threats to come.
