I was trying to get a mortgage and the agent made me download their app and fill it there. I had to put my bank username and pass in the app. I thought it is Auth2 and I am putting those credentials in the bank website.
Now I am wondering could it been Plaid? I read that they are mimicking bank's page design.
there was no URL in the app to verify where I am putting my credential in.
now that I am thinking about it, it was super stupid of me.
- Waterluvian 7y agoA mortgage broker should have a fiduciary duty and part of that should make it criminal to lead you down a dark hallway like that. I recently dealt with one and it was so refreshing to have someone who consciously knew their job was to be my guide and educator through the process.
- ilikehurdles 7y agoI bought a home last year and had to do none of that, although I will say I had to share some PII (SSN in particular) through email. They claimed that email was “SECURE” several times, but without an explanation of what security measures they take and given that I used my normal mail client to send an unencrypted message, I’m assuming my data is just sitting around undeleted on someone’s mailbox.
