They are naive, innocent, hardworking people who aren't used to dealing with the dregs of society. Sadly, they didn't double check the bogus email addy (.corn). The escrow company is also at fault for not encrypting confidential information before sending it out over the Internet. It's shocking! Everyone so naive, yet they're dealing with hundreds of thousands of dollars.

@omarr2808 Keep in mind that it is a misconception to believe only stupid people get scammed. Scammers use social engineering techniques to manipulate their victims. Victims of scamming that refuse to report it due to embarrassment means this happens more often than what we see on the news. Also, the fact that this couple has allowed the news to report this means less people will fall victim to this scam because it helps the rest of us be aware of it. With all of that said - is this still a laughing matter to you?

Instead, a hard copy of the wire instructions will be mailed and are to be confirmed via telephone call to the attorney's office.

The minute you enter the routing number, it immidiatly pops up the Bank Name, which should match the one provided in the wire instructions.

This is exactly why I was skeptical of wire transfer. I had over 40K to give at closing and was upset they wouldn't take the cashiers check. Had to do the wire. I was nervous as can be sending that amount of money over. I went to the bank and did 5 dollar wire first to be sure the closing company got that first before I sent the remaining money. Made the bank check those numbers several times too. Wire transfers stress me out. You would have had to admit me to hospital if I lost 800k.
