Small business almost out of thousands of dollars after falling for fake website scam

1. These people are privileged I don’t care

2. I would bet you a nickel most people that fell victim to scams don't even watch CBS or any other news.
   Internet scams have been around for a very long time. I almost encounter them daily – from bitcoin to cash apps. One has to adopt certain safety precautions. If receiving a call from your bank, hang up and call them back. Luckily, even though they can spoof caller ID, they can't re-route your calls yet.

3. This story missed a bigger story in my opinion and it was how did the search engine have the bogus bank website listed on their homepage.
   I myself lost $ on a gift card after I went to go register it and the site the search engine took me to looked like the company's page but instead was fake.

4. She went to the wrong website and gave them her login info.I hate to be like this but why should the bank be responsible for this when she didn't check which website she was logging on to. People need more cybersecurity training, especially those in positions that manage money and sensitive data.

5. Look America you let these scammer run amok for a long time without consequences

6. I would withdraw withdraw withdraw their bloody organs with no anaesthetic and sell them to recoup the money!!! I just absolutely cannot deal with thieves and fraudsters!!

7. Somebody had to tell the scammers about the payroll website name so they could create a fake page for her to login to

8. Everybody thinks the internet is the way of the future but it is the way of the scammers

9. This my friends is why I don’t do no kind of banking online even when my banking told me I could and they wanted to set it up for me but I refuse to do banking online and now I use a prepaid card from the bank and that’s the only card I use so when the 300 dollars is used up then I reload it with 300 dollars more

10. Better than the American people that is were the money is.

11. That is horrible! Money is the rule of all evil. I am happy I have a bank that will cover me if someone scams me. My son with this mess. They cashed a fake check in his name for 900 dollars. My son paid 300 of it and have the investigation the bank didn't make him pay the rest of the money back. People don't want to work but steal from those that do work hard.

12. Hire a smarter accountant. How much knowledge does it take to check the address you are going to in your browser address bar?

13. 🤦🏽‍♀️

14. Now days a lot of Scam website ,They should check the website & the bank should Alert the Customer

15. This is something that most people don't understand Google sells info all the phone company sells your info when you buy things online they sell your info that's why the want your email and get upset when you don't want to give it to them

16. That is why we need blockchain. Banks has unsecured system and they will brush off many claims to protect theirself.

17. Oooooo this is why the Key Bank up the street is closed!

18. This is why I use dual authentication for all of my sensitive accounts. Shuts the scammers out.

19. KeyBank stole the money_ use a federal bank

20. #IRS

21. I wonder what is being done by the FBI Cybercrimes Unit, or, are they yet aware of these Criminals?

22. Uhm take that bank to federal court.

23. Key Bank: "$250,000 in one day, that's normal"

    Check the url address. Suppose to have ".com" in it.
    Don't click on Ads when search results pop up.
    Google shows ads related to your search and it shows up as the first result. These ads can be the fake website.

24. Get over it.

25. Oh well.

26. Where's the DAM, FBI???? A Sleep at the Helm ???
    Where's the DAM, FBI???? Errrrrrr!!!!
    Where's the DAM, FBI???? A Sleep at the Helm ???
    Where's the DAM, FBI???? Errrrrrr!!!!

27. crazy people keep over 100k in bank and expect it to be safe lol

28. Key Bank, when my mother passed away : my Uncle walked into the bank and closed out my mother’s accounts/ and overdraft on her social security account/ the Court told me because I was Power of Attorney of my Mother no one Could touch anything. Well/ Key Bank – went into my personal account and replaced the money from their own mistakes to send the government. However, when I realized what they did and called them out on it! They tried to cover it up and tell me it never happened! But, I had logged in and printed all the documents and transactions as soon as my mother passed so I would have records for the Court. Because my baby sister died right after my mother/ I just moved on with my life. But the facts remain Key Bank Tried to tell me my mother didn’t have a bank account at the bank! She had more than one and, I went with her to make the deposit 💸.

29. The woman DID let him down. You should not be doing a Google search for the payroll provider, you should know the URL. In most cases these scammers require that someone do something stupid several times in order for their scam to work.

30. I don't do online banking, not even to check account balances. Period. For ANY online purchase using my debit or credit card over $200, I get a phone text message from my bank within seconds, saying if you didn't make that purchase, call the bank asap. ALL banks should have that alert system. That would shut down the majority of the fraud and save everybody, including the banks a LOT of money.

31. Good 👍 job Gayle king colleagues 🥂
