“He got control of my mom’s computer, probably by getting her to download some malware,” Spanierman said. “He saw that she had over $600,000 in her checking account.”
This person does not sound curious enough to find out what
exactly happened.
Microsoft needs to develop a special seniors program that
prevents any password or credit card information from being
stored on a computer.
If a Chase customer uses a VPN and regularly scrubs the
information on their computer without any trace as I do, there is usually a two step process to access the website.
Chase will flag some stuff and are responsive enough to
have sent new cards for problematic or suspicious transactions.
Makes it too convenient for scammers to view the content of a persons assets, if an account has multiple uses.
I’ve been thinking about going to individual
banks and opening up 4 separate accounts. My bank insists
on placing savings, checking, credit card, and CD information all together whether I want it or not.
They don’t believe in any limited customer service for
transactional security. Every time their system goes through an upgrade, I have to resubmit my request to
not have any online transaction capability—view only.
These scammers will provide scripts to their victims and instruct them how to lie to the bank staff so the transactions don’t get stopped.
Instead of blaming Chase, why doesn’t the LA Times blame the NSA? These are foreign phone calls coming from a known scamming industry (likely in India).
Instead of functioning as a spy apparatus for the deep state, why don’t they perform actual law enforcement functions?
How about the State Department??? Why are they letting known foreign entities scam U.S. citizens for millions of dollars each year with no repercussions? We should be putting sanctions on counties who allow this behavior.
To blame Chase for this is ridiculous.
SO SAD and so WRONG!
