“• “… a county employee responded to an email June 14 in which a scammer, posing as a court-approved vendor, asked to change bank account information. The change affected where future payment of the vendor's invoices were sent.” • “On July 5, the press release said, the county auditor became aware the electronic payment was made to an unverified account. Further inquiry revealed the vendor had not received any recent payments.” • “The $305,301.75 payment was made to a Bank of America bank account, County Judge Daryl Fowler said. The funds were then wire transferred to institutions outside of the United States…” • “Most of the money will be recovered through a cyber-scam insurance payment to DeWitt County of $250,000, Fowler said.” “
