Fraudsters use phones for theft often. The host Amira Aly became a victim of a Scam. She got a text message at night. It looked like a message from her bank. It said: Someone used your card for shopping.
Amira Aly called the number in the message. A fake worker made her very afraid. He said: Your phone is broken by a Hacker. Send your money to another bank account. She noticed the fraud the next day.
There was a bad case in Carinthia too. A man of 68 years saw ads for investments online. Famous politicians were in the ad. He believed the ad. He sent much money away many times.
The man lost nearly 100.000 Euro at the end. He wanted his profit. But the fraudsters asked for more fees. His bank advisor told him to call the police.
Banks never call for secret data. They do not want money transfers on the phone. Never give away Passwords or PIN codes. If you feel unsure, hang up now.
