Somewhere, Someone Is Kicking Himself For Only Asking For Six Grand

Stories about bank scams are getting to be a lot like stories about fireworks. It’s hard to find a really good one especially now that scammers have gotten more sophisticated and are able to fool people much more easily without a lot of those people having to be astoundingly dumb. But that doesn’t mean that now and then you can’t still strike it rich in the stupid mines.

This one starts out normal enough. Fraudulent activity has been detected on your account, we need you to move a bunch of money to a different account to protect it, please add this random person to your Apple Wallet, wind up losing $6000. A fairly obvious scam, but sometimes people panic and things happen.

But then.

When she got home the same man posing as a bank employee called her on Facetime. She said he told her they needed to do a full body scan to verify her identity due to a failed transaction. The woman told police she undressed and spun in circles on Facetime. When she heard the scammer laughing that’s when she realized it was all a hoax.

I think we’re done here. I cannot improve on this.
