@3:18 -- She had multi-factor authentication. But when she got the code on her phone, she gave it to the scammer. That defeats having multi-factor authentication. Whenever you try to login to one of your accounts, that web site (assuming it has proper security measures in place),will detect whether or not you are trying to login from your usual device. If you try to login from someone else's device (or a new device), the web site will detect that, and it will send a code to your smart-phone (or to your e-mail account, etc). It will send a code to one of your other ways of contacting you. Then, when you provide that code, the site deems that you to be the person that owns that login. So a scammer goes to a web site, puts in your name, and clicks "Forgot Password". That site then sends a code to you. What the victim in this video did is give that code to the scammer. @5:09 "Our family has a code word." That is how you thwart the scammers. When the scammer uses AI to impersonate someone that you know (often a family member), then ask for that code word. But be careful. Good scammers are prepared to meet that challenge. They have ways of convincing gullible people to give up the code that was sent to the phone. Your (fake) family member might look and sound terrified. Do not fall for it. They might cry and tell you that they are hurt and that they can't remember it. Do not fall for it. If you get an unexpected text of a confirmation code, give it to no one. Remember, many scammers do this full-time as their job. They get very good at it. They know all about social engineering. Many evil people are very smart. So keep your guard up, and never give your code to anyone. The (fake) family member might tell you that they are in jail, kidnapped, in the hospital, etc. Do not fall for it. Never give out your code. If your bank calls you, and reports some issue, they might tell you that in order for them to help you, you need to give them the code that they sent to you (they will claim that it is their way to confirm that you are really you). That is a scam. That is not from your bank. Your bank will never call you and ask you for a code. Hang up and call your bank. Your bank (who you called) will tell you whether or not you have an issue. Be prepared for the scammer to convince you that if you hang up it will be too late to help you. Just hang up and call your bank. If you start to think that it is not a scam, and you are ready to give out the code, then the scammer just fooled you.
