Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.
This is an example of a fear-based scam — a tried and true technique of scammers everywhere. ACT NOW, the scammer shouts (posing as a bank official), because you’re in danger of losing a fortune! Unfortunately there is really no fortune, and no bank official — there’s just someone trying to hook you into a fraudulent scheme that will end with him picking your pocket.
