A retired teacher and her daughter are speaking out after they were scammed out of nearly $200,000 over email. Lakewood, Colorado residents Vicki and Sarah Ragle were in the process of buying a townhouse when they claimed their email chain with the title company and realtor was hacked, tricking them into wiring their life savings to a scammer, they explained to local news station Fox 31 Denver. Two days before closing on a property, the mother-daughter duo said they received emails nearly identical to those from the title company requesting $196,662.
