New Scam Alert: BEC Victim Lost $742K

JD Supra reported:

The Town of Enfield, New Hampshire, appears to have been the victim of a man-in-the-middle scheme involving the transfer of $742,000 to a fraudulent bank account.

An employee was tricked into sending the payment to a fraudulent bank account instead of the construction company building the facility.

Luckily, here, the town notified the bank where the fraudulent account had been opened, and it appears that some of the funds were frozen and may be recoverable.
