> We’re all being targeted by increasingly sophisticated online frauds and scams. Last year nearly four million people, like John, fell victim to scams:
> 
> I noticed a fraudulent £1,800 payment on my account and reported it to my bank. The bank's fraud team sent me two texts confirming that my money had been refunded, and a new debit card was on its way.
> 
> I then received a third text from the same number saying that I needed to call the fraud team about more activity on my account. I called the number and spoke to a very professional sounding person. I was even asked the same security questions my bank had asked a few days earlier. 
> 
> £53,000 was then taken from John's bank account. We’re pleased to say that, after some difficulty, that John got his money back. But it’s a chilling example of just how clever and believable scams can be - we need better safeguards to protect us.
