Scary fraudsters

I can believe that too Badenkate !!

I was nearly caught out this way when I was buying my house, The fraudsters copied all the details from my solicitors website, even the names of the conveyancing solicitors. They even had my name and the town in which my new house is situated. The only clue was that the bank details they gave were slightly, and only very slightly different from the ones on the Letter of Engagement I received. The advice I was given is that no solicitor would e-mail and ask for funds to be transferred, if in doubt phone or visit your solicitor first.

That's exactly who they do employ EllenVannin.

Set a thief to catch a thief !

I don't bank online because my thoughts have always been that the fraudsters are one step ahead of banks and those who try to deter the worst from happening.
They're far more savvy when it comes to looking/seeing loopholes and weaknesses in any system.
You've only to look at statistics of fraud and the vast amounts that members of the public have lost to scams etc.

Technology is a curse in many areas of business.
If a kid can hack into the White House, then anything is possible. They should use these guys to catch the hackers, hahaha.
