Authorised Push Payment Fraud is a growing menace and the scammers know it which is why, whilst they are on the phone to their victims, they tell them not to go to their bank nor answer the phone to anyone else (who might persuade them otherwise). They even claim to be calling the victim from Police organisations such as the National Crime Agency and that they are investigating major crime in the ranks of the bank at branch level!
I previously posted a video from Jim Browning about the NCA scam link here and his scam busting efforts. His list of videos id here.
This happens as much in High Street Bricks and Mortar banks too 0 not only on-line banks.
The point is - if someone asks you to download software on to your computer which will allow them to take control of it - don’t!
