Get ready for these scams in 2025
admin 2024/12/20 23:38Grifters are getting more sophisticated when attempting to steal your money and data.
Hari Ravichadran, founder and CEO of the online safety product Aura, recently got a front-row seat to a sophisticated scam designed to turn him into a victim of fraud.
He and his team are regularly targeted by scammers, but this scheme was so well-conducted that it gave the normally skeptical Ravichadran pause.
The play went like this: A scammer seemingly stole someone's identity and used it to share a heart-wrenching story. The pretend victim claimed that the bank mistakenly wired Ravichadran her alleged family's down payment for their new home. They urgently wanted Ravichadran to wire back the money he supposedly received.
The would-be thief contacted not just Ravichadran, but also multiple company executives. The scammer communicated through what looked like a legitimate email address and social media profiles, and had accurate information for Ravichadran. They even invited him and his legal counsel to meet on Zoom with a bank employee in order to sort things out.
