Fraud Location: 3900 Block of Rivermark Plaza
Victims, residents of Santa Clara, contacted the Police Department to report fraud.
The victims are in the process of purchasing a home out of state. Their real estate agent told them to expect an e-mail from the title company with instructions for wiring funds to close on the home. The couple received an e-mail from what they believed was the title company with account and routing information for the wire transfer. The victims wired nearly $235,000 to a fraudulent account.
The sending bank was unable to recall the transfer, and the receiving bank was unable to provide the victims with any useful information. Based on the initial investigation, it appears the real estate agent’s email had been hacked. The suspect has not been identified and remains at large.
