I don't see any workaround proposed for the blind who use the note dot system to determine absolutely what $ they are offering/receiving. Maybe we will have voice announced transactions for them - imagine a balance request.... There must be cash for these folk surely under legislation as its...

I am sorry but I do believe that the dealer was partly to blame for this scam and should shoulder responsibility for some of the loss if it cannot be recovered. Last year article in SDC re the "well known" 100K Mercedes scam (21 Oct 22 SDC) so it is pretty much common knowledge that these...

If it is parcel service and they have taken a photo then you can call AP and ask for them to review the photo and get the GPS tag data from it - Then google maps can put it into a few feet of where the photo was taken. I have called them and done that before when a parcel had been "delivered"...

I am getting really p*ssed with the self service too as they (supermarket) try to deal with theft issues and they introduce their AI Cams on self service.... I am getting so annoyed with a trolley load and NO checkouts b4 9am so self service is the only way. The damned AI keeps getting hung...

The correct number is on the back of each Card I have - so should be first place to get the right #, on the Credit/Debit Card.

The financial institutions are well aware of the data breaches of recent, and any financial losses that are solely due to that exposed information should be the responsibility of the bank to cover as they should also have addressed their systems and procedures to allow for that information being...

Woolies should set up a default reward system for a charity close by each store and offer customers to direct their reward points to that charity if they are not personally using the rewards program? So either the shopper scans their card or a "store charity card" is used instead - and post...

Hi all - new member here, and decided to join due to newsletters covering the rise of high value scams and online safety. I'm ex-ADF IT/Security (over 40 years) and being consulted over scams in progress in my personal network really burns me that these scum are getting away with it...

That would appear to be a separate incident - The ACA article is regarding a bank account the lady thought she had created and when the money was transferred, it was instead sent to an offshore crypto currency organisation that flagged it as potential fraud. In her case the scam was the...

It is unfortunate, but probably time we become skeptical of all first time transactions to prevent $ loss... Including mistakes as simple as a typo in an account number can lose money. Stay safe and: 1 - Use the bank verified app store phone/tablet apps wherever possible to avoid "Web Site...
