The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) is warning its members about a phishing scam they may receive in an email appearing to be under the REALTOR® Party banner. The scam email is asking to help “Jim” with a financial donation. Please be aware that the email is not from the REALTOR® Party or NAR. Please delete this email if you see it.
NAR will never solicit donations for personal or individual charities. All donations go through the REALTORS® Relief Foundation.
Anyone who received the email or sent money to the link in the email should file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at http://www.ic3.gov.
NAR urges its members and state and local REALTOR® associations to be on high alert for email and online fraud.
The California Bureau of Real Estate (CalBRE) officially became the California Department of Real Estate (DRE) effective July 1, 2018. The DRE has been re-established after five years as a bureau under the Department of Consumer Affairs.
All telephone, email and website contacts will remain the same. Licensees can use the department’s eLicensing system to reprint license certificates reflecting the change to a department, but will not receive new pocket cards unless their license is being renewed.
Licensees will not be required to change their business cards or marketing materials to reflect the change, as long as their license numbers remain on those materials.
