Kinda mobile related since mobile tech "security" was at play..

I can't believe that someone fell for this:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/phone-bank-fraud-montreal-1.6853465

And yet..

"Although he filed a complaint with TD, his request for reimbursement was
denied as was his appeal. He'll have to pay back the $13,000 cash advance in
full. The bank offered three months interest free, then it goes back up to 30
per cent interest."

It is disturbing that the bank is refusing to take ANY responsibility. The
original fraud was committed by the scammers who managed to take out a cash
advance from the victim's credit card and deposit that money into the victim's
chequing account.

This part is disturbing..

"In a letter explaining the decision not to reimburse Shattah, the bank said
its investigation showed a "one-time passcode was sent to your device with
your Easyweb password being changed."

"Shattah said he never requested a password change and believes the scammers
requested it. Typically, an alert is sent to a customer's phone asking them if
they asked for the change. Shattah never received one and believes the
scammers may have redirected the alert."

So.. how could the scammers have commandeered the request to have a temp pw
changed and routed to a new phone number?  Something at the bank went horribly
wrong and they ALLOWED the transaction. The bank SHOULD be responsible.
