Working with ethical hackers, Rav Wilding is hunting down the scammers plaguing our lives.
Everyone has had a scam call, received a sketchy email or been sent a suspicious message online. Having someone try to defraud you is now so normal, it’s one of the most universal human experiences out there.
What begins with a simple message requesting contact on a new number will quickly develop into a troubling hard luck tale. It will likely involve a child’s smashed or lost phone and a kindly friend of theirs who has stumped up the money for the supposed child to buy a new one. When you then receive a call, hours or days later, from someone claiming to be a genuine loan company and congratulating you on your successful application, you might be delighted. They have all your information and details about your application, so why would you be suspicious?
You enquire as to the availability of the item and are told that it’s available, but for some reason can’t be seen in person at the moment. If it’s a rental property, they might say there is someone else still in it to fob you off, if it’s an item it’s likely they’ll say it’s currently elsewhere in the country. Regardless, some up-front payment will still be necessary to secure it, like a deposit.
It originates with a direct message, usually on social media or a dating app. Initially the interaction will seem innocent enough, the possible beginning of friendship or romance. Over the days and weeks which follow, your new friend will love bomb you with endless interactions, compliments and may even share deeply personal details and encourage you to do the same.
One day, you log in and find your friend’s profile no longer exists. The months of chats are all deleted. When you attempt to check on your cryptocurrency investment, the website doesn’t exist either. The entire platform was built by scammers as a vehicle to steal money, and the months of dialogue with your new friend just a set up to get you to deposit yours.It’s easy to see why some victims have lost vast amounts to this scam when it’s so hard to see it coming.
