Another scam of the day. Everyday, another kind of scam was born. This phishing game is called " a sting con game". Most of their intention is your personal information and password. They sent a message to confirm your identity as required by the bank in order to protect your interest. If you have an account with popular bank institution like Citibank or E-bay or Pay pal, you don't have any idea that they are enticing you to visit a phony web site. If you enter your ID number of your account and the password, immediately your personal and bank information will be in their hands as fast as the wink of the eye. Clicking in the link they give you will lead all your information to this fake website. This is the time the scam artist will intercept your information and have access to your account by harvesting and fleecing all your money without your knowledge. You only realized it later that you don't have money left in the bank. You can no longer trace them. You make them very happy by giving your money free-of-charge. Open your eyes and see what comes next.
In another version, you are contacted over the phone instead of an e-mail. You can't distinguish the call if it is pre-recorded or a live call informing you to take action to protect your account. Most often, the scam artist already has the information on you, your account or credit card number. If they asked you about your account this is only for a confirmation of what they have in their position. If they call you, question them and rebut. If they knew that you knew their modus operandi for sure they will leave you in peace. But if they already have the information taken from outside source, all you have to do is to monitor your bank statement immediately in order to check any irregularities in withdrawal or diversion of funds. By doing this, only a little amount can be taken and you still has something left in the bank. The only problem is when they already withdrawn all your money, what is left for you is tears and anger. You can no longer recover what was lost in you.
Beware of this people. They are smart and very dangerous.
