People in the military are known for looking out for one another. That’s why scammers set up camp outside military banks pretending to need help — just to get through the holidays. But take a tactical pause. This might be a scammer looking to use your phone to drain your bank accounts. Learn to spot and avoid this scam.
We’re hearing from people who’ve been approached outside a military bank like USAA or Navy Federal. Someone stops them and says they’re in a tough situation, can’t access their bank accounts, and need money for groceries. Sometimes they even have a crying child with them. They’ll ask you to send them a few bucks using the bank’s mobile app.
