Scammer Spoofed USAA Bank Call | Virginia Beach News
Description
A USAA customer lost $15,000 after falling for a sophisticated scam where fraudsters spoofed his bank’s phone number, claiming someone was trying to steal $8,500 from his account. They pressured him and his wife to move funds to a “safe” account—something banks would never ask you to do. The scammer exploited trust and urgency, making it look legit. USAA is investigating and warns customers: banks will never call asking for codes or directing money moves. If you get a suspicious call, hang up and call your bank using the number on the back of your card—simple steps that could save you thousands.
