Fb again. Seems legit so also can't fault ppl for believing.

Can banks also bring back physical tokens as an option for a fee?

Scammers must thank local banks for making customers use phone to receive OTP instead of using physical tokens.
So just hack phone = free money

last time using physical token, hack phone also no use still need victims to ownself give them OTP

warn your parents / older relatives

these Aholes are on tik tok

they post videos of TCM, Taiji class, Exercise class - all those that older people will like

and you touch the video, it jumps out a whatsapp link

once they start communicating on whatsapp, that is the beginning of the end

For better peace of mind for customers. Give ppl tis option against scammers.
