My client seeks an attorney specializing in recovering funds lost to a scam. The victim, tricked by a fraudulent email resembling his realtor's, wired over $100,000 for a down payment. Suggestions for potential defendants include the sending bank (failure to flag irregularities), email company (security breach), real estate agents, title company, and escrow (lack of clarity and timely documentation delivery). Immediate withdrawals and additional names in the transaction should have raised red flags. Input is welcome for further refinement.
