In an ever-changing world where the fraudsters are increasingly turning to high-tech crime, it is important that we partner to learn how to better protect our money. Join us for the August membership luncheon, where Elaine Dodd will share with you the scams we see in Oklahoma on a daily basis, such as large counterfeit checks to businesses (particularly attorney and REALTORS®), the use of the relay phone system to drain your funds, growing ACH and wire frauds, counterfeit items and the basics about how to protect your identity and your money. We will explore tangible, proactive responses that you can implement to keep your world safer!
Elaine Dodd is Vice President of the Fraud Division of the Oklahoma Bankers’ Association. She spent 22 years in law enforcement with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics. She currently provides training and investigative assistance for banks statewide. She will also be sharing vital information about:
- Identity Theft – how to protect yourselves as well as your family members with stories on the ID scams we’re seeing that are impacting Oklahomans statewide
- Verification of information (including counterfeit ID, bills, checks, new accounts and loans with good sources for verification of all these)
- Current scams and trends – internet scams, counterfeit cashiers checks, ATM fraud, quick change artists, etc.
- Lotteries and sweepstakes, why they are never legal from other countries and red flags to help others stay safe
- Internal theft
Mark you calendar and make your reservation to join us on TUESDAY, AUGUST 3rd, 11:30am at Oak Tree Country Club. Email your reservation to staff@edmondrealtors.com, or call 348-3032.

By definition of the work you do, you are a contributor to the American dream—home ownership.
You make it possible for people to bring value to their communities, their lives, to schools and to the future.
Increasingly REALTORS® are facing forces from many directions that threaten their ability to help bring about the American dream for more people.
• Increasing health care premiums
• the economy
• property tax burdens
• rent controls
• impact fees
• the taking of private property for the public domain
IF NOT YOU, WHO?
That is why it is vitally important that REALTORS® be politically active—to take on the responsibility of protecting the values and rights we hold dear. If not REALTORS®, then who? No one knows a community better than a REALTOR®. It would be difficult to believe that a local no-growth group would represent your real estate business interests, or that those employed by the local government know best how much and where to spend the tax dollar better than you do. REALTORS® are the experts on their communities. REALTORS® know the lay of the land, the families, the best schools, the neighborhoods, and the leaders. With REALTORS® in virtually every community in the nation, you are in a strong position to be on the front line as either a proponent or a defender.
RPAC truly is your best investment in real estate! Make your contribution today!
The 2010 RPAC Goal is $8,310
42% of the goal has been raised.
