BLUF

Some scammers will now call you—pretending to be your bank; then ask you to verify your identity by reading out a one-time passcode that is sent out, which authorises a withdrawal from your account.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Build an awareness of the latest cyber-crimes and fraud affecting Australians.
  • Discover how easy it is for cyber-criminals to withdraw funds from third-party bank accounts.
  • Understand that banks will refuse reimbursement if you voluntarily share your passcode, citing a breach of terms.
