A $600k wire from a legitimately identified customer is not unusual for a bank like Chase.

I know it sounds large to a lot of people…but these days someone wiring that much when they buy or sell a home is almost normal.

It’s not the banks job to prevent people from being stupid.

IF they are buying or selling a home-—the transaction should have a TITLE COMPANY in the middle.

Scammers who “follow” house closings to then trick the buyer into mortgage wire-fraud for the payment for the property is probably one of the most nefarious and tragic scams out there. Imagine being on the hook for a home loan for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the actual payment for the home got diverted to a scammer.

I suspect The Daughter is more concerned that she just missed out on $600,000 inheritance.

Otherwise she might have known what her mother was up to.

The CIA should get involved in stuff like this and track them down and kill them.
