Scamming is Serious For Businesses! Meet King From Your Bank …

--

I am probably not alone in getting many awards of millions for a lost relative or for a lottery win:

But there is a serious side, and individuals and companies need to be aware of the scammers who aim to trick them into cleverly designed schemes. For many they may never see their money again. Recently it has been revealed that Hamilton FC were scammed for £800,000 and Heart of Midlothian FC for £80K, and that there could be another four football clubs that were also scammed.

The Hamilton FC scam involved a scammer calling them, and saying they had been hacked, and that they needed them to move money into another account. The scammers then took control of their funds and quickly moved money out of their account. In an instance, the money had disappeared from the football club’s account.

All of this brings back memories of one of the “most successful” cyber criminals … Feezan Hameed (from Glasgow).

Meet King …
