Since being left paralysed in 2009, whilst working on the Harry Potter film franchise as Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double, David Holmes has vowed ‘pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice’. However, after falling victim to sophisticated scammers last week, and being scammed out of tens of thousands of pounds - the former stuntman has been left feeling ‘shame, regret, pain and loss’. Convinced that he’d never be a victim, David joins Ben and Cat to issue a stark warning as he reveals how deceptive and clever these new age of criminals really are.

I work for a credit facility and @beckscald3855 you are incorrect. Your bank can and will call you if they recognise your account is compromised and requires action to protect it. However, your bank/credit facility will never EVER ask for your PIN or your pass code sent to your phone. If you receive a call from your bank/credit facility they will absolutely be happy to end the call and for you to call them on the number printed on your card.

@hextree 19 күн бұрын

This isn't correct, banks in the UK DO call customers. It is especially common when they want to check if a recent transaction is genuine.

@beckscald3855 19 күн бұрын

@@hextree that's a bit different. You'd also be able to check your bank account to see if things track. They wouldn't call you out of the blue regarding something like what he's been through. I would always recommend hanging up and calling the bank back. Then you know its 100% legitimate.

My Mrs had the exact call and was falling for it was only by chance I overheard the conversation and knew that banks never ring you from the fraud team first red flag "they will never ring you"..... Grabbed the phone from her and told him I knew his game he hung up instantly. I saved her from a right mess.

Always hang up, be it politely or not, and contact your bank (or whoever the scammers are claiming they’re calling on behalf of), thru a number that you know is legitimate.

@thewr0ngchild 17 күн бұрын

Yes, scammers often spoof trustworthy numbers, this is a very notable fact, thanks for pointing this out. This is why it is much safer to hang up and call your bank back on the number on your debit/credit card. Your bank won't be annoyed, they will be pleased you're being scam savvy. They are very well aware of these scams and how we can't trust anyone. Yeah it might take more time, but a bit of time is much better than potentially losing £1000s. Most banks can now verify a transaction using the phone app, where they will ask you to input a code or use your fingerprint.

Watch Kitboga or Scammer payback! These channels on KZfaq have existed for years. If your unsure or think the accent is questionable; hang up and actually call the bank and ask. Usually your bank doesn’t call and ask for your details, they’re already on file. Of cause they’re nice on the phone; they want your money.

"The whole point of crypto is that it can't be traced." Eh? Isn't it traceable on the blockchain?

@hextree 19 күн бұрын

It's only 'traceable' as far as some hash address is sending x amount to some other hash address. There's no actual name or details attached to the transaction. If you can follow the chain back to some known address for an exchange that performs KYC then yes you could request the customer data from the company. However many people who don't want to be traced will just buy and sell p2p.

@Trance9 19 күн бұрын

@@hextree p2p, does that mean between 2 cold wallets? Then I guess as long as you don't ever use an exchange, or buy from store that needs kyc with the bitcoin payment you could never be traced, but you would just have to keep using p2p with other criminals kind of on the black market for favours, black market items, etc? Cause youd never be able to convert it into cash I guess using banks etc.

@hextree 18 күн бұрын

@@Trance9 yes, that's correct. Though p2p is pretty easy, and is safer than exchanges since you lose all your money if the exchange gets hacked. If you are in countries with a crypto community, you aren't necessarily trading with other 'criminals', it's just like selling on ebay or craiglist etc. Before exchanges were a thing, it used to be the only way people traded.
