The fake operator aware of all the information concerning the customer led the latter to trust almost blindly. The deception takes shape in detail just at that moment.
Specifically, to deal with the cases submitted by the scammed customers themselves, who then went to the various offices of the Italian Post Office to ask for explanations on the matter, at the moment it is the lawyer Francesca Galloni, of Confconsumatori who declared: “These are very serious cases where there is serious responsibility and negligence. This, both because third parties were allowed to come into possession of the sensitive personal data of Poste account holders allowing unknown persons to be able to contact people directly, thus misleading them, both due to the fact that evidently the new ATMs have come into the possession of third parties who have been able to carry out fraudulent operations with them. Finally, the fact that the individual operations carried out they are of high amounts with the lack of checks due and required by law “.
Poste Italiane customers they asked the various branches for explanations but certainly did not receive the answers they would have imagined. No explanation as to why those phone calls and how the bad guys were able to use certain information. The answers therefore they have not arrived and at this point citizens who have lost even 15 or 20 thousand euros are ready to take action. Withdrawal operations carried out immediately after being in possession of the ATM pins of scammed customersthis is what the scammers have done, trying to rake in as much money as possible.
