USNret Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Detective Chief Inspector Paul Barnard of the UK police told the Guardian that customers should contact the bank immediately after they realise they have been targeted. "If you become a victim of this type of crime, you should crawl into the nearest hole and die of shame for being such a freakin idiot", he was quoted as saying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
