Identifying Spam Emails

How are Leads Generated on UtahRealEstate.com?

In addition to being generated from your listings, leads are generated on the Find a REALTOR® page of UtahRealEstate.com.

When a potential client uses Find a REALTOR®  to search agent profiles, they can select Send Email to the agent of their choice. This will open the Contact Agent form which is intended to help generate legitimate buyer and seller leads for MLS members.

To help ensure quality leads, we require the name and email address of the person requesting information. Additionally, there is no open comment field to ensure spam comments cannot be sent.

How do I Tell if the Email I Received is Spam?

If you happen to receive a lead from UtahRealEstate.com and the ‘reply to’ email address appears suspicious, we recommend you do not respond to the message, do not click on any links or attachments, and that you promptly delete the email message.

Below are some Common Indicators of Spam Messages:

  • Suspicious email addresses or sender names
  • Links to unknown website addresses
  • Attachments from unknown email addresses– Most computer viruses come from opened email attachments and all files from an unknown address should be considered suspicious
  • Incorrect spelling or blatant grammatical errors
  • Odd requests or solicitations that ask for personal or sensitive information in a reply (including login information)
  • Strange looking characters in the message, which would suggest that the message was copied and pasted

If you ever have concerns about a particular message, please contact us at 801-676-5400 or support@utahrealestate.com.
