SAN DIEGO — A woman from San Diego is explaining how she fell for an elaborate bank scam in hopes of warning others.
Right after she typed “no,” she received a call from what she thought was her bank. The supposed bank representative said over the phone that someone attempted to use her credit card and also take out a loan on her account. “I get these notifications through to my email that he was talking about,” Cornett said. “It's a few different email. One of them says someone's been added to your account and another one says that your loan has been approved. Suddenly I was like, this isn't adding up.”
Nikolas Behar, a professor of cybersecurity at the University of San Diego, listened to Cornett’'s interview with ABC 10News and assessed how he thinks this happened. Cornett thought she did her due diligence and searched the phone number she got the call from to make sure it was the bank.“It's relatively easy to go out and either spoof a number or get an 800 number and add… the caller as a bank’s name,” Behar said.
