I nearly got phone-scammed once
they spoofed my bank phone number, were trying to help me with some "fraudulent transactions" and the guy on the end of the line was totally reeling me in. It was only when I told them I had an overdraft of £248 that they hung up and I realised what I'd been on the way to falling for.
I don't keep any cash in my bank account and I have a 0% overdraft of £250 so all my money is in places it can earn interest but this guy was sooooo good. Honestly. He was playing me like a virtuoso and I always thought I was wise to that kind of shenanigens.
No. We're all susceptible to being scammed, it just takes someone who knows what they're doing. The best thing is to not have any assets worth taking.

my bank card must have fallen out of my pocket in the carpark for some hiking trails
When I got back a couple of hours later from the walk I rang my bank to cancel it. there were 15 160 quid transactions on them to some place in Leicestershire made in that 2 hours. this was on a mountain a three hours drive from melbourne. The fuckers work fast

eventually, took a few weeks while they reviewed the case.
