News Fake Realtors Final Notice Scam September 18th, 2017 Alabama real estate licensees should be aware of a current scam that may be targeting them. This scam is a fake bill which purports to be a final notice for membership dues to the Florida Board of Realtors in the amount of $225.00. The notice is enclosed in an envelope that appears to be from the Alabama Real Estate Commission. It also requests that the payment be sent to the Florida Board of Realtors in Deerfield Beach, Florida. The Florida Association of Realtors has offices in Orlando and Tallahassee.
