Insert Nigerian scam joke here.

"To seize large down payments on homes, Ayeni and co-conspirators sent phishing emails to US title companies, real estate agents, and real estate attorneys."

How are these professionals not ultimately responsible in making the consumer, who seems to have done nothing wrong but trust state licensed companies and real estate individuals, whole?
