Throwaway account. I hope this is the right subreddit to be posting this question on.
My friend just messaged me, we’ll call him ‘R’. He was supposed to put the down payment on his house yesterday, but a fake email account that looked like the real estate company’s email address gave him false information, and he sent the money directly into a fraudulent account.
“R” has a wife and two small kids and just lost everything. I don’t know how to offer my support or even advise him on his next move. He lost all that money, and as far as I know, also lost the house. I haven’t gotten much information out of him aside from that because he’s so utterly distraught. I don’t know what to do. He lives in Michigan.
