      That's exactly why the scammers called her as soon as she fell for the trap and texted back. Spoof the phone number, or hell maybe not even needing to spoof just use an 800 call through number, and poof "Hi, this is Chase banks, we had ..."

      Correct. Communication can only be 1 way initiated from the user to the financial institution AND call the phone number on the back of the card or bank statement instead of calling whatever number that shows up on the text/email message.

    If you receive a call from your ‘bank’ regarding unusual account activity, do not get into it with the caller. Ask for their name, customer service ref and department information - then hang up. You can then call your bank's official number using a different phone/number and ask for confirmation while making sure to include the aforementioned details. Your high street bank branch can also help.
    Prior to their call, your bank would have locked your account if legitimate dubious activity had occurred. Hence, money cannot leave your account without through due-diligence

    Sophisticated? How sophisticated is it really? It's all about pretending to be the bank via phone call and texts, victims are either answering calls or initiating a call to scammers, then they willingly cooperate to give out all their codes to complete a wire. Imagine someone with a uniform shows up your door claiming to be the CIA and needs you hide a body or kill someone, that action could be considered 2nd degree murder if not 1st. So by complying with scammers, they are both victims and criminals of the fraudulent scheme.
    To a degree, it's almost as if we need people to take an exam to own a bank account and/or credit card, like how we deal with driver licenses. sigh~

      well, that depends... if the scammer knew her details (including her account number and the balance on her account, as they said), that means that
      - either the bank had some leak
      - or their app is not secure enough
      - (or they communicate those numbers to the users in a non-secure way, e.g. unencrypted emails with the bank statements)
      - or the leak was from her side
      But there are certainly ways that might have been the bank's fault.
      "how to locate the official bank phone #" --> how will that help you when they are calling you? You know they can fake it to display any number to you, right?
      Of course, the right thing to do would be to tell them "ok, I will hang up and call you back on the official phone #"

It doesn't matter if banks had leaks, I am a victim of Equifax leak years ago and i bet plenty people have my information, it doesn't mean I am victim of a fraud. While it is possible banks have fault simply because ppl work there and no one knows what employees are truly doing at every moment of their employment.
      When a bank calls me, I ask them to verify my SSN, DOB, Address, my security question/answer. I bet sometime it's official calls but I stand on the person that's calling has to verify my information. I goes "i have to verify myself when i call you, so you have to verify my identify when you're calling me." if the other party has everything I have, it's very likely they can call banks by themselves for a wire which then i wouldn't be on hook as i can prove i never called.

    Answering a call from an unknown number is your first mistake. Putting your name and leaving a human voicemail greeting was your second mistake. All you did was confirm to them that a human is at the other end of the number and you gave them your name. Criminals prey on people gullible enough to fall for basic privacy mistakes like this because anyone smart enough not to, likely also is too smart enough to fall for the rest of their scam after they get you on the phone. It wastes their time to get you on the phone if you are too smart to fall for the scam. This is the same reason phishing emails have poor grammar and spelling. If you aren't smart enough to see how poor the grammar is, you likely are not smart enough to see they are scamming you.

    she got scammed, how is it the banks fault?

    • @panda4247
      @panda4247 Год назад +1

      well, that depends... if the scammer knew her details (including her account number and the balance on her account, as they said), that means that
      - either the bank had some leak
      - or their app is not secure enough
      - (or they communicate those numbers to the users in a non-secure way, e.g. unencrypted emails with the bank statements)
      - or the leak was from her side
      But there are certainly ways that might have been the bank's fault.
      Also, speaking from my own experience - sometimes the people from the bank call me (e.g. to sell me some of their new product - credit card, insurance, funds management program, whatever). That would not be weird in itself, but if I want that product, they said they need to "authorize me" (I suppose they want to make sure that my coworker did not pick up my phone lying on the desk while I went to the toilet, or whatever) - e.g. I have to tell them my date of birth and something something.
      I have told them numerous times - "This is unacceptable, you are calling me and requesting ME to verify MY identity? How can I know YOU are not the scammer? I will not tell you any of my data. I cannot know that you are really a person from my bank. Send me an email with the offer details, and if I am interested in the product, I will activate it via internet banking. Since you are the one who called, you should authenticate to me first. Tell me the number of cents in my bank account."
      (number of cents seemed to be random enough at the moment that they should be able to tell it to me without revealing anything significant about my balance, and the potential scammer should not know it - or at least I thought.)
      They refused to tell me anything and insisted on me telling them my data (and yes, it was really a person from my bank, I called back to the bank hotline to verify if somebody has been calling me or if they have scammers pretending to be them). I wrote a complaint to my bank that this is unacceptable, the procedure which they wanted me to follow was the same what a scammer might have done - call me and ask me for my details. I asked them for a way to implement the authentication of them to us, the users.
      So basically, the banks are really behind the times and use practices where their legitimate calls are resembling scams. How is a person then supposed to recognize a scammer? :D
      By the way, some 3 months after my complaint, the bank added a feature in their mobile app, that when somebody from the bank is calling a customer, the user will receive a notification in the app (no SMS, no email, but a message in the banking app... so I suppose this makes it more secure) saying that I am about to receive a call from this number by a person with this name...
      Not sure if my complaint was the initiating factor of this change or if they had it in the pipeline before... But I was pleasantly surprised by this change.
      I will still not buy their insurances and other marketed products by phone (usually I need a bit longer to consider all options and their pros+cons) but that's besides the point.

  • @Concepcion30
    @Concepcion30 Год назад +1

    Texts from legitimate places come in the same text window. So, if my bank texted me, it would come in the same window where I get my check deposits every week. So, If I suddenly see a new text window claiming to be my bank, i simply delete it and report it as spam.
    At no point would your bank be asking you to do anything elaborate like typing in specific account numbers to get stolen money back. They either give you the money back or not, there should be little to do on your part.
