Spain's National Police warn of new scam: a fake bank call and handing over your card at home
Spain's National Police has warned on social media about a new scam method that combines digital deception with an in-person step. Cybercriminals call the victim posing as a manager or agent of their bank and warn of a suspicious charge and unauthorized access to their account. The solution they offer is to hand over the card to an alleged bank employee who comes to the home. With the card in their possession, and sometimes with the codes and passwords, the criminals make transfers or spend the money.
In 40 seconds
- The call comes from someone posing as the victim's bank manager or agent
