Cybercriminals are getting smarter—and bolder. The U.S. Secret Service and NAR have issued a serious warning: a new cryptocurrency scam is targeting real estate professionals across the country. 40 REALTORS to-date have lost all of their savings

Here’s how it works:

👉 A “wealthy all-cash buyer” approaches you.
👉 They build trust, even share a crypto “success story.”
👉 You’re invited to invest on what looks like a legit site.
👉 You see big gains, withdraw a little, and invest more—then it all disappears.

🎯 This is a dangerous twist on the “pig butchering” scam—and some agents have lost retirement savings.

💡 Stay alert. Stay skeptical. Never invest based on client claims.
Wire fraud and cybercrime are still on the rise, with over $16.6 billion in losses reported in 2024—a 33% spike from last year.
