Florida DBPR Warns of Business Verification Scam - warning to fellow small bus. owners

Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) has issued a warning about a new scam targeting licensees.

Scammers are posing as DBPR officials, contacting agents by phone, email, or text and urging them to “verify” their license information. Their messages often sound urgent and official, but their real goal is to steal your personal data.

If you receive a suspicious message, don’t rush to respond. Instead, verify any requests directly with the DBPR using contact information from their official website. Never share sensitive details unless you’re certain of who you’re communicating with. If you think you’ve been targeted, report it to the DBPR right away.

Stay safe, stay smart, and always double-check before you click! For full details, read the original alert from Florida Realtors: Florida DBPR Warns of Verification Scam.
