is missing nearly $400,000 Wednesday morning after her office was victimized by email scammers who used a tiny typo to gain the upper hand.. Folks on Barbara's team tell us the email appeared to have been sent from Barbara's executive assistant,... and it informed Christine she had the green light to pay $388,700.11 to a company called FFH Concept GmbH in Germany.
Great cover story because we're told Barbara really does invest in real estate, and FFH is a real company in Germany. Plus, all of this looks even more legit because it appears to be coming from Barbara's assistant. Anyway, on Tuesday ... the bookkeeper fires off the wire payment to the account listed in the original email. Afterward, she emails Barbara's assistant, Emily -- at her real address -- and it's only then that Emily uncovers the scam. She noticed her address was altered on the previous chain of emails.
Unfortunately, the money is gone, but we're told Barbara's IT folks traced the original scam emails back to a Chinese IP address, and her attorneys are figuring out their next move.

If she thought it was going to the assistant how on Earth did she not notice the email address was off by a letter until after she sent a follow-up email? I don't buy it for a second. If you're a bookkeeper and this is all you do all day you don't make mistakes like this.
BarbaraCorcoran Thx I LOVE RESPECT & APPRECIATE U more thx for being beautiful & Bodacious enough to share Ur truth with the World. For U it's 'just money' FullSail scammers using SharkTank et al. to scam students left me unhoused 5yrs PLEASE HELP!
Too bad it didn’t happen to Lori instead.
File a complaint at and if it has been less than 72 hours since the transfer, there is a Financial Fraud Kill Chain process that can be activated to stop the transfer in many cases. BarbaraCorcoran
She invests in real estate so a renovation scam would be hard to catch. Maybe should have verified what property renovation was for?
If she falls for it, anyone will.
DKsTHandle oh shit!!!
Awesome.
Y’all want me to blow y’all’s mind real quick? Assuming you have $20,000 in total assets, and zero debt (which isn’t bad depending on your age and income), this is the equivalent of you losing less than $100.
I hope Barbara's IT people get them shut down...I hate agency's like that.
