Fraud Magazine reported:
According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), fraudster callers — who are impersonating representatives of USAA Bank, Navy Federal Credit Union and other banks — contact victims via phone calls and voicemail, emails and texts to gain access to personally identifiable information (PII) to steal their banking credentials and identities.
The fraudsters will tell victims their debit cards have been blocked, the bank has detected fraudulent activity or some other urgent excuse to gain PII. They’ll also use impressive logos in emails and texts.
If victims click on links in fraudsters’ messages, they run the risk of hackers installing malware on their phones or computers, which hands fraudsters complete access to their devices and information.
