I am confused as to whether you dad was somehow fooled into sending the £7000 himself or if you are claiming that they obtained sufficient information from his pc to do this. If the latter, how? How did they get his banking password? I also believe HSBC use a secure key for internet banking accounts .....
I just set up online banking for my hsbc account and you need a secure key either a physical one or you can generate codes on the app.
I felt like I needed about a hundred passwords and memorable questions!
I work in fraud (not operations) and I'm amazed at the amount of people who seem to fall for these scams. It's huge!The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0 -
