Arizona Realtors Caucus
Last Thursday I had the chance to speak with the Arizona Realtor Caucus and dig into the economic trends shaping the future of housing.

Fake Websites, Real Scams — Cybercriminals Use AI to Create Fake Websites That Look Just Like the Real Thing
We are entering a new phase of online scams that most Americans aren’t prepared for. Online scammers are as crafty as ever, not only making knockoff domains, but also recreating the branding and layout. Today, scammers can purchase an AI tool on the dark web, input a real company’s URL, and generate a fake site within minutes.
If you receive a strange text or come across a site offering suspiciously deep discounts, pause and check. Rather than clicking links, type the web address yourself instead and look for subtl typos or extra words. |
