    Phone Scam

    Beware of cellphone banking lest someone hijack your account. Johnson livestock farm lost everything. Notify your phone provider not to transfer your account without written consent. That goes for anyone with access to your bank accounts.

        I'd like to hear more details.

        I opened a legit looking email two months ago. Had to change every card and bank account # and the hard drive after that one. All fraudulent purchases however didn't cost me thankfully.
        Also thankful internet providers and financial institutions have a good handle on this stuff.

                  Sorry I wish I knew more details, something about the SIM card being cloned or something, they think happened at an airport. Police are involved.

                              They must have taken their phone in to get fixed or switched phones. I don’t do any banking by phone nor Ipad. I can still walk and there still are banks. And for sure banks should be responsible for transferring your money to some foreign account if you’ve never done that before. If they can just transfer your money anywhere without your authority, the risk is monumental. When we make transfers not only do you need the pin, you need this special key, an electronic screen with randomly changing code every few seconds. Someone would need your account number, your pin and this special key. Its a bit of a pain but I guess it is necessary to avoid false transfers.
