ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 Little Manuel, Erica and Diana don’t need help \u2013 they don\u2019t exist. But Realtors\u00ae still receive bogus donation requests to help a child with a fatal disease. In a new twist, however, scammers have personalized the requests by making them appear as if they\u2019re coming from a local association, rather than Florida Realtors\u00ae or the National Association of Realtors\u00ae (NAR). In a version of the latest email scam, a Realtor was told that a fellow member\u2019s son was \u201ccritically ill\u201d and \u201cneeds to be operated urgently.\u201d It includes a photo of a small child in a hospital bed and asks that donations be sent to a fundraising campaign set up for that purpose. If you receive this email or a similar one, report it to the FBI\u2019s Internet Crime Complaint Center IC3. \u00a9 2021 Florida Realtors\u00ae Go to Source Author: kerrys<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5254,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5253"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwfl4sale.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
