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.
We did it the old fashioned way as well. Certified cashiers check straight from our local bank. I don't trust wires but I do empathize with this couple how devastating
@@CrazyGreek80 its most likely inheritance from parents. but they should have done it in increments, maybe 50k at a time in order to get confirmation. 800k all at once is just stupid
I'm a Realtor. Between us, mortgage lenders and closing attorneys, we continually stress to clients that the attorneys will NEVER email wire instructions. Instead, a hard copy of the wire instructions will be mailed and are to be confirmed via telephone call to the attorney's office. To anyone reading this: Always, always, ALWAYS call the attorney or title company to confirm wiring instructions BEFORE sending a wire.
Why on earth would anyone send a wire unless it's going to a foreign country!!! only wire I ever sent in my life was for a puppy purchased in Bosnia from a long time show kennel and she was shipped door to door to me in Iowa, I used CHarles Schwab to send the wire

When this happened to me in Canada I successfully sued the company I was doing business with, as they claimed their email account was hacked. In Canada a business is responsible for having proper firewall protections in place, the, we were hacked, defence doesn't work. The company ended up refunding all the money they was wired, I picked it up via cheque as I could no longer trust electronic payments, for obvious reasons.
Yeah, I was thinking that too. Seems like the lawyer is 100% at fault for this. Why should the couple expect that an email that came from the escrow lawyer was suspect?
Yes!!! Shouldn’t they be responsible? They are the ones who sent out the email that was hacked if they sent the email on a protected firewall this would’ve never happened so you’re absolutely right!
@@TangoIndiaMikeJuliet If I'm to live in the house for the rest of my life, hell ya that's MORE than a wise "investment"! You just don't know how to do maths! No matter what, you'll still have to pay the FULL AMOUNT, PLUS INTEREST! You're not going to OWN the house even if you pay 95% of the Principal, and the moment you stop paying, you'll lose EVERYTHING! So, why pay a big down payment, and try to finish paying asap to pay LEAST AMOUNT OF INTEREST and MAXIMIZE YOUR PROFIT? I guess you can attempt to "educate" aka "brainwash" the idiots, not me! 😅
How much was the house $1.6 million? You could buy 5 2000 sq ft houses brand new, near where I live for that. You can buy a 4800 sq ft house a county away for $979k, I just checked. Regardless tragic story for the couple. Definitely a high cost of living area IF the down payment alone is $800k.

$800k wired? This story don't make sense and it's weird that this couple is able to do an interview on TV with composure. This couple is chill like they lost their grocery money for the week.😂
Idk they don’t seem chill to me. They seem restless. Almost detached from reality. It could be a coping mechanism to deal with the situation. I think that’s how I’d most likely react if I was in this situation. I’d pretend like everything is fine.
Bottom line is they have a kid to raise and HAVE TO keep the bare minimum of composure. As she pointed out, they can't sleep and are having nightmares and panic attacks. Don't mistake a few minutes on air as the complete picture.

That being said, I presume that amount was gifted to them by family.

@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.

Yeah, the reporter said the $775,000 was 60% of the total purchase price. That would put the cost of the home in the $1,291,000 range. For Carlsbad, CA (North County San Diego) that's about average. There are 1,800 sqft condos near the beach in Carlsbad for more than that.

She shouldve CALLED the escrow company first to confirm the number, send a small amount like $50, confirm they got it, then send of rest of the money. So many missteps. Totally preventable. Hindsight is 20/20.
When I was buying my condo in New Jersey for less than $ 200K, I asked my lawyer if I could pay by check. My lawyer said "no". He said wire transfer to an escrow agent is the common practice nowadays. On the day of wire transfer, (before wire transfer was performed) I was afraid of wire transferring my money to a scammer, I drove to my escrow agent's business address (which was also her home) to confirm all the information (including bank account information) on paper with the escrow agent, even though I was beyond shy, i had social anxiety. Even I had the courage to confirm the wire transfer instruction with my escrow agent in person. Why did they not do what I did? It is a lot of money, folks. A simple, few minutes of driving, to your escrow agent's business to confirm wire transfer instruction can save you lots of headaches down the road.

Trust me. Those 2 were told about 3 million times NOT to wire any money and to ONLY talk via voice to their escrow officer but NOOOOOOO they always make an exception. The emails demanding payments most always reference a sense of urgency.
How did they get so much cash at such a young age? That is depressing as I've been working for 30 years in a 40 hour a week white collar job, no kids, and investing most of it every paycheck and I don't have anywhere near that kind of money.

When I have to send over a 100$ in Zelle to a friend/new account, I send a 5$ first, ask them if they got it and then send the rest. You’d think those who send 800k$ will take some precaution.
Yup, I'm the same way and thought the same as you. I'm so carful with this stuff. I don't know what I would do if I had to wire 800K. I would without doubt send it in small increments and verify with the bank.

For example, endless entertainment, beautiful ocean, mountains, rivers, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, endless cuisines, hot women, lots of money to be made, etc. As long as you have the means, California is still one of the most desirable places to live.
Most escrow companies will require wire transfers. I was given a paper copy by the escrow and called them at the financial institution while executing the transfer. It’s crazy how many times the escrow told us to look out for email scams. Makes me wonder how often this happens.

I bought a house three months ago and was concerned about this happening. Went to my bank in person to review and practice the transfer instructions with a bank employee.

I hope they recover their funds and get the house.
I’ve only bought one house in my lifetime and that was in 1998. For the down payment handed a cashiers check to the sellers lawyer. For the final payment we brought a cashiers check to the closing.

Never ever use a computer to send money for anything. If your gonna buy a house, always do it in person inside a bank where you can put a down payment using a check the old fashioned way. And never carry no more then $40 cash on you and a credit card. And anytime no matter who it is weather it’s family/friends or even co-workers never ever loan them money because they will never pay you back. Tell them if they want to borrow money to borrow it from the bank. That’s what banks are there for to help people with there financial life. I’m saying this from experience. Always let everyone believe that you are poor. Then everyone will leave you alone.

They’re suing the escrow company since the email originated from their end. It’s very obvious that it was either an inside job, or they have the worst cyber security ever.

When this happened to me in Canada I successfully sued the company I was doing business with, as they claimed their email account was hacked. In Canada a business is responsible for having proper firewall protections in place, the, we were hacked, defence doesn't work. The company ended up refunding all the money they was wired, I picked it up via cheque as I could no longer trust electronic payments, for obvious reasons.
Were they cracking cheese?
Yeah, I was thinking that too. Seems like the lawyer is 100% at fault for this. Why should the couple expect that an email that came from the escrow lawyer was suspect?
Yes!!! Shouldn’t they be responsible? They are the ones who sent out the email that was hacked if they sent the email on a protected firewall this would’ve never happened so you’re absolutely right!
$800K DOWNPAYMENT is outrageous
They are the scammers
The more down payment you put, the less you'll have to pay in total. Go learn some basic maths!
@Western_ENT Not a wise investment though.
@@TangoIndiaMikeJuliet If I'm to live in the house for the rest of my life, hell ya that's MORE than a wise "investment"! You just don't know how to do maths! No matter what, you'll still have to pay the FULL AMOUNT, PLUS INTEREST! You're not going to OWN the house even if you pay 95% of the Principal, and the moment you stop paying, you'll lose EVERYTHING! So, why pay a big down payment, and try to finish paying asap to pay LEAST AMOUNT OF INTEREST and MAXIMIZE YOUR PROFIT? I guess you can attempt to "educate" aka "brainwash" the idiots, not me! 😅
How much was the house $1.6 million? You could buy 5 2000 sq ft houses brand new, near where I live for that. You can buy a 4800 sq ft house a county away for $979k, I just checked. Regardless tragic story for the couple. Definitely a high cost of living area IF the down payment alone is $800k.
I thought for sure it was about to say, "These days 1-year-old Declan is the only one who can be trusted to handle the family's finances"

$800k wired? This story don't make sense and it's weird that this couple is able to do an interview on TV with composure. This couple is chill like they lost their grocery money for the week.😂
They're probably thinking they'll get their money back.
Also they might be pretty rich.
Idk they don’t seem chill to me. They seem restless. Almost detached from reality. It could be a coping mechanism to deal with the situation. I think that’s how I’d most likely react if I was in this situation. I’d pretend like everything is fine.
Or they could seem calm out of embarrassment
Bottom line is they have a kid to raise and HAVE TO keep the bare minimum of composure. As she pointed out, they can't sleep and are having nightmares and panic attacks. Don't mistake a few minutes on air as the complete picture.

@@mischaraine1645 they setup the gofundme after they were scammed out of 800k. That’s a lot of money and don’t think there is a way to get that back in an instant.
@@mkhanman12345 They mean that if they were wealthy enough to accumulate $800k before the age of 30, they're wealthy enough to not beg people to replace it. $800k is double the median household price, and that was just their down payment. That being said, I presume that amount was gifted to them by family.

I thought the same about that giant of a down payment.
Yeah, the reporter said the $775,000 was 60% of the total purchase price. That would put the cost of the home in the $1,291,000 range. For Carlsbad, CA (North County San Diego) that's about average. There are 1,800 sqft condos near the beach in Carlsbad for more than that.

@@applejuicejunkie316not me
She shouldve CALLED the escrow company first to confirm the number, send a small amount like $50, confirm they got it, then send of rest of the money.
So many missteps. Totally preventable. Hindsight is 20/20.
When I was buying my condo in New Jersey for less than $ 200K, I asked my lawyer if I could pay by check. My lawyer said "no". He said wire transfer to an escrow agent is the common practice nowadays. On the day of wire transfer, (before wire transfer was performed) I was afraid of wire transferring my money to a scammer, I drove to my escrow agent's business address (which was also her home) to confirm all the information (including bank account information) on paper with the escrow agent, even though I was beyond shy, i had social anxiety. Even I had the courage to confirm the wire transfer instruction with my escrow agent in person. Why did they not do what I did? It is a lot of money, folks. A simple, few minutes of driving, to your escrow agent's business to confirm wire transfer instruction can save you lots of headaches down the road.
And I am not a bright person, with social anxiety. I could do it, you can do it too.

Most escrow companies will require wire transfers. I was given a paper copy by the escrow and called them at the financial institution while executing the transfer. It’s crazy how many times the escrow told us to look out for email scams. Makes me wonder how often this happens.
I purchased my house with cash, even though I did all my research the wire transfer process was nerve racking. There has to be a better way.

Never ever use a computer to send money for anything. If your gonna buy a house, always do it in person inside a bank where you can put a down payment using a check the old fashioned way. And never carry no more then $40 cash on you and a credit card. And anytime no matter who it is weather it’s family/friends or even co-workers never ever loan them money because they will never pay you back. Tell them if they want to borrow money to borrow it from the bank. That’s what banks are there for to help people with there financial life. I’m saying this from experience. Always let everyone believe that you are poor. Then everyone will leave you alone.

Go fund me? They had 800000 cash they, dont need money
And they might even get the stolen money back 🤷🏾♂️
IKR! Just seems like people fall back on the "GoFundMe" stuff very quickly and regardless of the reason.
um, NO!@@esils
Have you heard of hard work for years. They might have been saving that for 15 years and used the entirely of that.
An no they are no way getting that backs it is impossible. It is in Singapore. @@esils
How entitled is it that you have a GoFundMe account you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Someones living good! More money than common sense!
More money than brains
nah stuff happens luck plays a large role
@@danielalonzo7445 freak accidents dont determien brains bruh this is just a cope of yours
800k is some people retirement hope money 🤝😂
Left San Diego 5 years ago. No where can compete weather wise. But now I can afford to live. My 3 bedroom beach house on east coast is 1200 month. Yeah we have winter and I hate it. But I also hated paying 3000 a month in San Diego for a rented apartment. 😔
wow where is this house
@@joanword2895 Chesapeake Beach Maryland bought for 200k in 2018 just appraised at 300k still cheaper than San Diego.
That's me.arghhh...leaving soon....the weather is absolutely amazing ....and my goodness Carlsbad is one beautiful place
@@joanword2895Carlsbad California....smaller version of La Jolla... beautiful town
You can go on lots of nice vacations for the money saved. Or buy a small condo somewhere warm.
Atleast they got family and aint on the street
they have Deckland, too.
You are doing a noble service to all people! I wish I was smart enough to help you. *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* I am a computer illiterate thank you for fighting against people who take advantage of vulnerable people like me
im sorry...but 800K DOWN PAYMENT. these people were already rich.
But not that smart?
The Bible: 'A fool and his money are easily parted'
Impressively awesome this man really hit the ground running and hasn't stopped yet. He gives us more understanding of him without interviews and negative antics he just shows us who he is through the recovery, true living legend. We salute you.
Incredible recovery. The execution, creativity, and goodness that came from it were inspiring on a number of levels. Cheers *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* and looking forward to seeing what you do next.
For those interest the Noars filed a lawsuit and its gone back and forth and is set to go to a jury trial in March 2024
They’re suing the escrow company since the email originated from their end. It’s very obvious that it was either an inside job, or they have the worst cyber security ever.
Haj😂😂😂
Well, the lawyer who took the case found the smoking gun of incompetence and any jury that is introduced to the mistake will side with the Noars.
I'd bet 100:01 the attorney will also bring forth any information that brings credence that inside assistance was involved in this heist without a gun.
Well, it's April. The Noars were found to be incompetent and the $10 in their Go Fund Me was seized. The Noars have now relocated to their nearest Section 8 Luxury Home. Their kid, Deckland, has been teased incessantly while at school.
No way this marriage lasts long. The way he is acting and having nightmares. Its all he will think about once the shock wears off
I'm more concerned about the trauma for the little boy named Deckland.
@@UncleDavesKitchen that's another flag. like womenmyownage who only talk about their little dog. the husband is an afterthought. I see a divorce. Hitting the 'send" button is completely on her as far as I understand he wasn't standing behind her while she did it.
yeah Im sure it was the wife who wired the money. A guy would never be that stupid
Your videos are very educational, I wish all the elderly saw it. Thank you very much for the time and effort you dedicated to it.
every minute you spend with them is one minute less than they lose stealing from an innocent victim. *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* enjoy the rest of your day and I look forward to the next video
800,000 is only 60%????? How much money do these people have to piss away that they can just find 800,000 laying around?
