Closing Costs Scam Continues
Here's how it works: 1) hackers get the email accounts of home buyers and real estate agents, which they use to obtain info about upcoming real estate transactions; 2) the hackers send an email to the homebuyer, pretending to be the real estate agent or title company, informing the buyer about a last-minute change to the wiring instructions; 3) buyers wires the money to the different account; 4) bye-bye money.
