NCTServices[.]org - Scam?

Yeah, I've had to cancel all my banking, cards etc. ****.

I got this reply to my initial email requesting a refund before I thought it was a scam. Are they just putting a good effort into the scam? Interesting to see if I get a refund.

Yeah, I done mine in bed on my phone. Never suspected something like the nct would get scammed.

I received 3 emails from them so far, definitely putting in the work. Trying to maintain the charade as long as possible so people forget about it.

My daughter got scammed by someone claiming to be from Revolut a few months ago. He was so professional and had such a good story he really had her going. Only for she got suspicious near the end and she transferred all her money out of her account while she pretended she was trying to find some detail for him. He was actually in her account at the time pretending to be trying to stop some guy in the middle East emptying her account

There is always one who has to bring the comments to this level, wouldn't be boards without it unfortunately.

It is always easy to spot something after the fact, the warning signs are obvious. At the time, they are not so clear.

I lived abroad for 6 years, I have booked one nct online in my life before this. I don't know what functions the site is meant to have or what is required from me to get an nct. I had no reason to suspect that the nct system would be subject to a scam.

Regarding my daughter, she was 18 at the time of her incident. She received a call from a guy with a very convincing story and a lot of technology/software that allowed him to come across as very convincing. He put an urgency on the call saying that the account was in danger while they spoke, he was able to tell her transactions she had made and could navigate around her account. This made his story very believable. All he could not do was transfer the money out of her account without her assigning him permission by changing a setting. He spent over an hour and a half building his story, gaining her trust and masquerading as someone trying to help her while another bad guy was trying to steal her money.

To her credit, and despite the pressure being put on her by a well trained fraudster, she started to get suspicious and began to transfer all of her money out of the account while on the phone to him, while pretending to be a dumb, online banking illiterate kid, while he was instructing her about the settings that needed changing.

So yes, two of us got caught by scammers. Aren't we the fcuking idiots. And you, so smart up there in your tower looking down on the rest of us.
