BC cancer patient loses thousands in sophisticated spoofing scam

[@rupertperiwinkle4477]

Banks will NOT text you. Nor email you. Always best to go in person visit the branch and show them these texts. I block everyone anyone, never respond to texts, and no one calls me haha

Well, when you receive an unexpected phone call, and the other person on the line speaks 🇨🇳 Mandarin. - That's when you know you are being scammed.

[@nevermind3530]

“Within seconds $4,600 was gone” - how? By just receiving a text? Or did she click on the links in the text? Never click on any fishy links!!! Global your reporting here is also fishy.

Even as I read that text message I could hear an Indian accent

[@Rocksteady-o1e]

Exactly.

[@LinuxAvali]

If you receive a call or text from the bank, ask to call them back. If they fight you on that, they are likely a scammer. They can spoof the number, but unless it's a cell number, they can't intercept phonecalls to it.

The banks are not doing enough security, not enough

[@Dukes-g2c]

People never learn

[@TheJohnny220]

Crazy. I am never answering my phone. It should be taught in school never trust anybody. Not even you family members. They can ai copy their voices and spoof their phone numbers. Just insane.

[@Cosmic.cougar]

I don't answer unless it's my doctor.

[@johntitorii6676]

[@hollypietrzak5214]
