PSA - we’ve just been scammed
My wife took a seemingly legit call from Chase Bank, claiming our account had unusual activity.
They wanted us to reject certain payments and accept other as part of changing bank account numbers so the activity will stop. All via iPhone screen sharing. During the call, there was another scammer on the phone scamming, and this background noise was what really caught our ear.
Fortunately my wife caught it before they hit out current account, but they did get £5k on the credit card. Which will be protected.
PLEASE be careful. We were lucky and won’t have lost any money. But as people who are fully aware of this type of thing, we still got caught.
This was a number used.
