Chapter 2 - Fraud Types Affecting Customers

Indicators Of These Scams

These are some key things to look out for when interacting with potential victims, and tactics criminals use to warn your customers about.

(Click on the cards below for more information)

Identity Theft

Customers reporting accounts opened unknowingly in their name, receiving unexpected bills or devices, contact from debt collection agencies, unexpected credit file entries and noticing their personal details may have been used/changed without their knowledge.

Account Takeover

Attempts to change contact details before passing security, unable to pass security the first time, avoiding or delaying the OTP/OTAC process and unusual urgency to rush the transaction.

Telco Impersonation

Scripted transitions, no small talk or questions, if they know the terminology ‘too well’ and ‘same again’ behaviour, trying to pressure a certain deal.

Sim Swap

Realising the customer has been pressured, unusual language being used, avoiding OTPs and requesting contact details be changed first. Ask if they requested a new SIM due to a broken eSIM.
