Fraudulent Messages: How the “Scam Car” Operated in São Paulo
A sophisticated fraud scheme was dismantled in São Paulo, where a man was arrested for operating a vehicle equipped with advanced technology to commit bank scams.
The car, a white Jeep Renegade, sent fake bank SMS messages to nearby phones, directing victims to phishing sites to steal personal and banking information.
The driver, paid R$1,000 per week, used a computer and antenna in the car to target victims in affluent neighborhoods. Authorities are seeking more victims and accomplices involved in the scheme.
