Shark Tank 's Barbara Corcoran Visits Red Table Talk to Share the Shocking Moment She Was 'Hit by a Scammer'

Barbara Corcoran once found herself targeted by a highly sophisticated financial fraudster.

In an exclusive sneak peek at this week's Red Table Talk, the real estate mogul and Shark Tank star chats with Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris about how she nearly lost a massive amount of money in just a few emails.

"My accountant got an email from my secretary authorizing a $400,000 transfer of funds," recalled Corcoran, 73. "I invest in a lot of property, I renovate property, so it seemed like a normal kind of thing. It wasn't out of the norm. The money went out — a wire transfer to Germany, out it went.

She continued, "But it wasn't until my accountant set a confirmation to my real secretary saying, 'Hey we're confirming this one last time.' Right there, boom! I learned that I was hit by a scammer."
