Screen- Sharing Fraud

How this type of fraud works:

Criminals are convincing people to download screen-sharing applications to scam them.

They may pose as your bank or an investment company and offer to help you set up a new payee or account. They might even pretend to be your internet provider or other utility company and offer to fix a fake issue or offer to assist you remove “malware” from your computer.  

They’ll get you to download a screen-sharing application so they can ‘help’ you. This lets them see and control your computer, even after they’ve told you they’ve finished the task.

• How to stay safe:Remember, we’ll never ask you to move your money to a ‘safe account’
• Don't let someone offering to help you with finances or take control of your computer for any reason
• Be wary of anyone asking you to download a software you aren’t familiar with.
