I am a single mother of XXXX and of a military son. I had planned on buying a home, and now I ca n't because I am out {$4000.00} due to fraudulent activity. 

On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I was in the process of closing on a house. I was working with my realtor through email and phone during this process. It ended up that I wired my escrow money of {$4000.00} to a fraudulent account. The following is a detailed account of what happened. 

On XXXX XXXX, I worked with my realtor to sign the bidding paperwork for XXXX XXXX XXXX property in XXXX, VA. 

The next morning, I received a congratulatory email saying that the seller agreed to the bid and I will receive an email with the instructions for escrow and other documents. Later that morning, I did receive instructions and called my bank to proceed with the wire transfer. 

My realtor called shortly after to discuss me signing additional paperwork, then called again later in the afternoon to talk about escrow monies. I told him that I had already wired the money according to his instructions. He said that he never sent me anything today, and to stop and call my bank to stop payment. 

I did call my bank, and the bank where the money was being wired to, and neither party would freeze or hold the money to investigate!! 

My bank would n't do ANYTHING until I filled out a form, which, when I initially called to complain, no one, told me about any form, until my bank manager the following day mentioned it. I was told to make a police report, which I did. I NEVER, got ANY response from the local police to even say it was out of their jurisdiction. I feel really helpless in this situation. 

My realtor 's email was hacked! I want my money returned!!! That 's it!
