[Fredslist] Referral for attorney to handle wire fraud claim.

[Michael D. Steger]

Potential client was closing on a residential RE purchase.  Received a
spoof email instructing him to wire funds to an account at a large bank for
closing.  Wired approximately $38,000 to bank for closing.  Turns out the
account was set up by an imposter, who removed about $22,000 from the
account before PC realized what happened.  Bank froze and returned the
balance.



PC would like to explore potential action against the bank for the
remaining $22,000.  I would think that anyone handling this would have to
have some experience in the field or know where to look, as the amount of
damages would not justify a lot of original research.  PC is in New York.



Let me know if you are interested.
