Foxconn official nearly scammed out of $260,000

RACINE COUNTY (CBS 58) -- A Foxconn official was almost scammed out $260,000.

Alan Yeung is in charge of Foxconn's US strategy and court documents say he and his wife were trying to buy a home.

They were allegedly trading emails with Landmark Title of Racine when the email address they were corresponding with changed to gmail.

The scammer told the couple to wire $260,000 dollars to a bank account.

Wells Fargo stopped the transfer and returned Yeung's money.

No arrests have been made.
