Somehow a hacker got into her email account, and then was able to get all of our transaction information.
But we got a call from our real attorney, and they said, "Hey, your down payment is due today."
I called the seller's attorney, and he explained that the email account was not his, and the bank account wasn't either.
AdvertisementWe found out the only real email address in the thread was our real-estate agent's, but she wasn't the one communicating with us.
She told us via text message that her email account must have been hacked — that it was her email address, but she didn't write it.
