How the situation unfolds
- 01
Contact
A call claiming to be from a shopping or payment platform.
- 02
The lure
Recurring fees will start unless support cancels them.

The demand and outcome
Fake support transfers you to a fake banker who requests card details and a savings transfer.
Verify these things before paying
