Dog Hospice Victimized by Bank Impersonation Fraud  
Podcast: The Perfect Scam
Published On: Fri Oct 06 2023
Description: Caring for ailing senior dogs is a passion project for Helen and her husband, who run the nonprofit dog hospice Old Dogs Go to Helen. They rely on donations to pay for the dogs' medical and comfort care until they pass on. One day, they receive a text message appearing to be from the nonprofit's Bank of America account, which leads them through a familiar series of steps to secure their accounts from a possible fraud. While Helen thought she was averting a crisis, she was actually the victim of a sophisticated bank impersonation fraud.
