In July, the Anderson County Sheriff's Office recovered over $305,000 for a liquidation company in Williamston, South Carolina, that fell victim to an email scam. The company mistakenly wired $527,000 to a fraudulent account after a hacker impersonated a creditor and altered banking details. Detectives traced the funds through four wire transfers, preventing potential business closure. Authorities advise verifying any changes in banking information directly with companies.
