SPOOFING | M6 | 66 minutes

It’s the latest scam trend. After phishing and ransomware, here comes spoofing — identity theft by another name.
A scammer pretends to be your bank advisor: he knows your name, your account history, and even calls you using the real bank number. He tells you suspicious transactions have been detected on your account.
By playing on fear and exploiting the trust people place in their advisor, he tricks you into giving up your banking code — and drains your accounts for good.
The number of fake-bank-advisor scams is skyrocketing: more than one million French citizens are believed to have been targeted by spoofing attempts.
