2026 Real Estate Fraud Symposium

REFAT Fraud Symposium – Event Overview

The REFAT Fraud Symposium on March 19, 2026, brings together real estate professionals, property owners, legal experts, and public officials for a powerful afternoon focused on preventing real estate fraud in Ventura County and beyond.

Hosted at the Hilton Garden Inn, 2000 Solar Drive, Oxnard, this educational event is presented by REFAT.org (Real Estate Fraud Advisory Team)—a collaborative effort dedicated to protecting consumers and strengthening fraud awareness through partnership between the real estate community and law enforcement.

Attendees will hear directly from:

• Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nazarenko
• Real estate attorney Jennifer Felten, Esq.
• Deputy District Attorney Dominic Kardum
• Additional elected representatives and public officials

The symposium will address current fraud trends, prosecution insights, title and recording risks, wire fraud prevention, and practical red flags that every property owner and real estate professional should understand.

This is not a continuing education class—it is a high-impact educational forum designed to equip attendees with real-world knowledge and tools to identify, prevent, and respond to fraud schemes affecting our communities.

Whether you are a homeowner, investor, escrow officer, agent, broker, lender, or simply interested in consumer protection, the REFAT Fraud Symposium offers timely information that can help safeguard property rights and financial well-being.
