A mother and daughter have been scammed out of almost $200,000 - losing all their life savings.
Vicki Ragle, a retired teacher, and her daughter, Sarah, were in the process of buying a townhome in Colorado, US.
The scammers created spoof emails posing as their lender, title company, and realtor, and intercepted the chain of emails to trick the victims into wiring the funds to them instead of the legitimate parties involved in the home-buying process.
