Some Arizona residents have been receiving calls from scammers pretending to be bank representatives.
At least four people from Yabapai County were targeted last weekend.
The fraud call tells people that their accounts have been compromised and they need to withdraw money and deposit it into a new account.
Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Paul Wick said the bank teller stopped the woman from becoming a victim when the fraudster still entered the bank with the fraudster on the phone. I did.
“The victim was pointing to the phone,” Wick said. “It was when the tellers knew something was going on, and the tellers said, “They don’t have money in their accounts. ” he said loudly. ”
Wick said that each of the scams lost an average of $25,000. He added that anyone who receives such a call should go directly to the bank and ask if their accounts have been compromised.
