    I value the information you dropped on us. As somebody inquisitive about recuperation, I like that you show devices you use to examine an organization prior to coming to a choice. It's now a hard choice to make and game to play, and with somebody showing the world procedures to safeguard themselves, this information is important.
    Gratitude for getting some margin to impart this to the UA-cam world. We love you

    Never, never, never ever wire money especially this large in doing a real estate transaction. Make the transaction in person.

    I feel bad for them, but you gotta always call the escrow directly and check all the wire instructions. Or check in person. There's no such thing as too careful when it comes to dealing with your money.

    How can there be only a 72 hrs window to contact the FBI in case of such a fraud ? That time period is too very small .

    I like how they always say: "It can happen to anyone" NO! This only happens to stupid, gullible people. This can be easily avoided!...And my bank or any good chartered bank will only do that kind of business face to face.

    • @kathyevans757
      @kathyevans757 2 роки тому +1

      NO! An example of that could happen to anyone is that my son's local bank branch closed down unbeknownst to him, having been bought out by another company headquartered about three states away. Didn't find this out until shortly before closing. Had to trust that the money would be there, which it was, by the grace of God through the prayers of his loved ones. Yeah, he definitely dodged a bullet--and my son is a very savvy guy who indeed does his due diligence. These scumbag scammers are crafty and any one of us can be fooled. I heard something today--the right con, at the right time in someone's life--can scam even the most savvy of persons. So never think you're above it. Just remember: "therefore but the grace of God go I"...

      @teresasnow-angel5494 2 роки тому +1

      Because the lawyer was part of the scam---never let a lawyer know your paying cash---take out a private mortgage and then pay in full at later date----

    This would never happen in Canada. The USA should revisit their procedure.
    We would never act on an email. The instructions from the lawyer should be done in person or phone.
