Scammers Are Changing the Contact Details for Banks on Google Maps to Defraud People
25th November 2018
- Scammers are using Google Maps to trick people into giving up their bank details.
- The app lets users edit and update listings, so the fraudsters are changing banks’ phone numbers to their own.
- Victims then call them up and give up their details without ever realise something’s gone wrong.
I always use Apple Maps myself.
