This is exactly what I meant. If the attackers already could make fraudulent discharges, then why should they put up such a complicated and risky attack? Could they not simply have gotten the money via the debit card?
- mannykannot 7y agoProbably not anything like $9,800 dollars in one go - there's usually a daily limit. And the scammers may know (e.g. from doing it before) that after a few small transfers, the victim's bank will call him if he had not already noticed, in which case they preempted that call and effectively subverted it for their purpose. The risk of the scheme not working might be high, but I am not sure that the risk of being caught is much increased.
