Help My Cousin Recover Their Stolen House Deposit
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Graham, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my cousin who recently became the victim of a heartbreaking financial scam.
After years of hard work and saving, my cousin committed to buying an apartment, an exciting milestone that was meant to settle just last week. Unfortunately, just days before settlement, the unthinkable happened.
The solicitor’s email account was compromised by cybercriminals, and my cousin was sent fraudulent account details for the deposit transfer of $190,000.00. Trusting the instructions, the entire deposit was transferred, only for us to later discover it had gone to an unknown third party. The funds are now missing, and we are working with authorities, but the chances of recovery are slim.
This has been absolutely devastating. Buying a home should be a moment of pride and celebration — not one of loss, stress, and heartbreak.
We are now doing everything we can to raise the funds again so that my cousin doesn’t lose the apartment and their dream of homeownership. Any amount you can contribute will go directly toward rebuilding this lost deposit. Every dollar helps, and your kindness means more than we can put into words.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you can give, whether it’s through a donation or sharing this page with others.
With gratitude,
Graham
