A victim of a new type of electronic fraud revealed the method that was used to lure her and tempt her to disclose the confidential data of two credit cards, despite the naivety of the ploy she had deceived.
She told “Emirates Today” that the incident began when she decided to offer her table for sale on the Dubizzle website, and within hours a woman contacted her via the WhatsApp application, and expressed her interest in buying the table, and did not exhaust her in any negotiations about the price, but rather quickly accepted the purchase at the price that specified by the seller.
She added that she had informed her that she would send someone to take the table, but she would not be able to transfer money to her except by transferring money to the victim’s credit card through a service provided by the official mail via his website, pointing out that the fraudster sent her a link that led her directly to a site bearing the postal logo, It contains fields to be filled with credit card information.
The victim indicated that she initially complained about the unfamiliar way to transfer money, especially since she had never heard about the provision of mail for this service, and she expressed her doubts to the fraudster, but her last reassurance assured her that it is a safe and easy way to transfer money.
The victim continued that she decided to grab the stick from the middle and secure herself, so she transferred the amount in her card account to a friend of hers, and put data, including the card number, the security code on her back, and the expiry date, and she waited for several hours, but nothing happened and no money arrived. She contacted again with the fraudster, who asked her to put in another card data because the latter does not work, and she received a notification of that from the electronic support service on the fake site, which dispelled her suspicions that it was a fraud, and she had already put the data of a second card, and then I was surprised by an attempt to withdraw an amount from The card was rejected because there was not enough balance on it, and I finally realized that it was a potential victim of fraud.
She pointed out that she immediately contacted her bank, and the employee knew immediately when she told him what had happened that she was a victim of fraud, and that the incident was frequent, and the two cards were suspended immediately and her bank account was frozen as a precaution.
She explained that she received an immediate call after that from the Al-Amin service, asking her to withhold the number of the “WhatsApp” application from which the fraudster communicates with her, noting the role of the service in providing support, support and protection as quickly as possible.
For his part, a security source – who preferred not to be named – told “Emirates Today” that the most common method is to lure buyers and hack their bank data in light of the fact that they are the person who needs to pay or transfer money, but luring sellers is a new method, but it is extremely naive, and it is assumed That no one fall into it, as it makes absolutely no sense for a person to disclose his confidential credit card information in a transaction in which he is a seller.
He added that it is normal when selling items or expecting to receive money from a person or entity that the seller or the recipient of the money send his bank account number to transfer the money to him, but it is strictly prohibited and in any way to disclose any confidential data for the cards, whether the card number, its expiry date or The security code or the one-time password that the bank sends to the card holder to ensure that he is the owner of the transaction.
