Had a wire hacked during a transaction ...ready to get my money back! ;-)

[Kuriakos Mellos]

Hey everyone,

So now that some time has passed, and I got that rental up to par (and the slap across my face has healed ); I am ready to get some help in trying to see if can try  and get some of my money back that we believe WellsFargo might still have. 

I had a hacker get into my real estate agent's account and posed as my title company last year in which, I dumbly, wired money too.  My first heads up should of been that the first wire bounced back, but went ahead and sent another one.  By the time the real title company has alerted me that they had not got the funs, I was about to take off for a trip (literally on the plane)  At the time, my agent was able to call the bank (WellsFargo) and alert them of the fradulent account of which they then found and closed.  Since then both my outgoing bank (which I used to initiate the transfer and tried to do a recall) and WellsFargo - the receiving bank - have been sort of a dead end.  WellsFargo refuses to talk to me as they are saying they are 'protecting' their customer - even though we identified it as fradulent.

Not sure if there are any lawyers out there who can help me guide thru the process, but if I could get any money back that would be great. Luckily it wasn't a crazy amount but served as a wake up call.  I am what I would say a pretty seasoned investor and had this slip thru and happen.  Ready to move on!

Thanks !
