FRAUD |
SUNRISE AVE |
The victim turned on their computer and a pop-up message indicated the computer had been hacked and was provided a phone number to contact Microsoft support. The victim believed they were speaking to a Microsoft employee who informed them the computer was infected with a virus called “TINBA” which could lead to financial hacks. The victim was then connected to who they believed was the Bank of America Fraud Department and was informed there was a scheduled wire transfer of $28,080 from their Bank of America Money Market bank account that was never made. They were informed the only way to cancel this transfer was to duplicate the transfer and not to let anyone know of the situation and keep it confidential. Using the Exodus application on their phone the victim was advised this was a potential scam, but the suspect, representing themselves as a bank employee, reassured it was not. The victim authorized the wire transfer of $28,080 to CoinWorks. Shortly after the transfer, the victim received another call from a person they believed was from Bank of America. They were informed the money should be returned to the account shortly. They were then recontacted and informed they should provide more funds. The victim asked for time to think about it overnight and began to feel suspicious of the transfers. The victim then called Bank of America Fraud Department who confirmed that they had been scammed. In addition, the victim received messages from CoinWorks who informed that the money had been transferred out and they had been most likely scammed. CoinWorks also informed her Bank of America had tried to stop the funds but since the victim authorized the transfer, they were not able to retrieve the money. |
