Insecurity has no brake.
It is not only the streets that are dangerous, where thefts have grown in recent months.
It also happens that now criminals have found new ways to commit scams and cybercrime is one of them.
Toti Pasman
can attest to this.
The figures speak volumes.
In August, 250,000 cases were surpassed, among which are crimes such as false web creation and data theft.
Also another very common in these times: criminals who pose as bank employees that offer loans or encourage users to change their passwords and then operate with them.
That was exactly what happened to the sports journalist
, who fell for the new uncle story, version 2.0.
"They caught me off guard," he acknowledged on
Fútbol 910
, a program that he hosts on Radio La Red
.
"I received an email, which was supposedly from my bank. The famous trap in which I never fall, but the truth is that I was in another", he
began by saying.
Toti Pasman recounted in his program on La Red how the computer crime he suffered was like.
And he expanded his lament and anger for having been a victim of computer crime: “
Yo, un verde,
eh.
But I never fall: 300 of those emails have reached me. Today, he caught me with low defense.
And I put it in, because I don't know what was on my mind.
And at the touch they call me.
And pumbaa!
They hooked me.
Careful, careful, very careful ”.
The
modus operandi
of criminals is through an email.
There they ask you to change your password to access homebanking and confirm your data.
That is exactly what Toti did: "Of course, all the time you get emails like: 'Change your password', 'Change this.' And today I did it like a gil," he said.
But it doesn't end there.
That is the first part of the crime.
Later,
the journalist said that he received a telephone call on his cell phone
: “I listen, and a guy, who made me get in very well, told me: 'I'm Guillermo, so much, from such a bank.
Have you just changed your password?
Just confirmed?'.
'Yes', I say.
'Ah, well, because we're checking everything.
Can you tell me this message that you are going to get? '
'Yes of course'.
'Such thing'.
And it cuts me ".
A few minutes later, a notification arrived in his mail that he had allegedly transferred a very large amount of silver to another bank account.
At that moment, Pasman felt the true terror:
“I received an email informing me that they had made a transfer of a silver fortune.
Imagine ... the nerves! ".
Although later he reported that everything was solved thanks to the fact that his bank did not accept that the transfer took place: "Thank God, thank God, after 20 minutes of walking through the walls
I received an email that the transfer had been reversed.
The bank suspected, doubted, took it, but then reversed it. "
Then, the sports journalist said that these types of operations carried out by cybercriminals are usually carried out at night.
"They act after nine o'clock at night, when they no longer attend you at 0800 from the bank," explained Toti, who has already filed the corresponding complaint with the Cybercrime Prosecutor's Office.
