Quote:

A Suffolk company has been conned out of £1 million in what's believed to be the biggest-ever telephone banking scam. The conman called the unnamed company, claiming to be a representative of its bank. He said that the company's internet banking facility had been hit by a virus, and advised that the money in the company accounts should be transferred into separate holding accounts whilst the bank put everything right. He managed to disguise his own telephone number using a technique known as 'spoofing', so that the call appeared to come from the bank's fraud team, winning the staff member's trust. The fraudster then instructed the company to download remote access software that enabled him to access the new bank accounts and clear them out.
