A business owner in Indiana lost more than $18,000 when scammers impersonating her bank tricked her into sharing login details.<\/p>\n

Vanessa Walker says she received a call claiming suspicious activity hit her Regions Bank business account, reports<\/a> WRTV.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were telling me if I didn\u2019t do it, that my account was going to be locked for 90 days. As a business owner, that can\u2019t be done. I was getting very frustrated.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Scammers directed her to a fake website displaying the bank\u2019s logo where she entered her user ID and password.<\/p>\n

They then instructed her to dial codes that forwarded incoming calls to them so they could manage any verification attempts.<\/p>\n

The following day an electronic transfer removed $18,750 from the account.<\/p>\n

Scammers often obtain banking credentials from data breaches and the dark web before spoofing caller IDs to appear legitimate.<\/p>\n

The Federal Trade Commission says<\/a> imposter scams triggered $12.5 billion in losses in 2024 representing a 25% rise from the previous year.<\/p>\n

Experts recommend hanging up on unexpected calls and contacting the lender using the number printed on the back of a bank card instead.<\/p>\n

Warning signs include urgent pressure tactics demands for one-time codes and requests to forward calls.<\/p>\n
