BEWARE OF A NEW ONTARIO REAL ESTATE CLOSING SCAM: AI PHISHING

In Ontario, AI phishing scams are now targeting property closings.
Fraudsters impersonate the client, lawyer or mortgage broker and change bank details at the last minute.
These emails look real. They often copy branding, signatures, and even previous conversations.
Our tip: Always verify bank details by calling the recipient directly and look up their phone number independently, do not use a phone number from an email.
At Legal Direct, we've completed over 10,000 real estate transactions across the GTA and Ottawa.
Clients can close using our mobile client app available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
