Not my usual reading material but a salutary lesson here nonetheless.
All well and good to be wise after the event but Revolut - like most financial institutions - will never ever ring a client and ask them to disclose their pin. Also worthy of note is the relationship with Apple Pay and the hole in securing your funds which can follow.
There are facilities within the app to suspend the card until it is needed and to turn on other security features which could have prevented this crime.
There is some useful advice from a security expert as a side note in the article and I do know that Revolut is doing much to alert it’s user base to prevent this type of thing but people are fickle and often disregard the advice proffered.
My attention was also drawn to one user who indicated that he had been scammed multiple times and Revolut refused to do anything for him (beyond providing the advice about protecting his account). In this case - one cannot help but wonder if the problem was actually the client rather than the Fincon.
Is it too easy for people to set up a scam themselves and then expect the institution to make restitution perhaps. One wonders
