Security Tales: Fraud
Vladimir Bezmaly | 10.04.2017
- Johann, I have a problem. And I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to intervene.
- What happened, Mark?
- Boss, first a little background information. You know that the bank requires all questionable transactions to be confirmed by SMS or phone?
- Of course, that's how they always fought fraud, dubious card transactions. And they got me several times. I remember!
- Now something has changed, and for the worse. They decided to meet the bank's users halfway.
— Can you give more details?
- Please! As you know, we returned from a business trip last night. We arrived at night, I was home around two o'clock. I came from the airport by taxi. I paid with a card. You will now understand why I emphasized this. I came home, took a shower and immediately went to bed. At that moment, I received an SMS on my phone about a successful transaction. I immediately called the bank back, what transaction, I'm home.
- And what was that?
— I received a notification that 500,000 thalers had been tunisia whatsapp data from my card in the Republic of I. I immediately called the bank back, like, how is this possible? I am at home, here. Moreover, a payment had been made on my card half an hour ago.
- That's all true! The money was withdrawn, because I confirmed it.
- How???
— As the bank told me, well, you yourself repeated the same operation a second time. And here, this is considered confirmation! And anyway, if you don’t like it, go to the police, write a statement!
— Did they steal a lot?
- I'm lucky. Today the thaler has a low rate. About 60 imperial reals.
- So! I'm calling the head of the criminal police and the security service of the National Bank of the Empire right now. Let them restore order! And I'll report to the board tomorrow! Let them add some sense to them!
- An what did they tell you?
