A Vista couple has been conned out of nearly $50,000 in an all-too-common bank scam hitting customers around the state. The couple’s hard-earned money, wired out of their small business accounts at Chase Bank. Kristal Kuhn received the call on February 15 from a telephone spoofed to look like it came from Chase Bank. “She asked me if I had purchased something at Walmart for $2,043. I said no,” said Kuhn, who said the caller knew her debit card number and some of her recent transactions. “They needed to send me an access code in order to verify my identity,” Kuhn said. Unfortunately, Khun did give the scammer her texted code. She was then put on hold. “It was like five minutes. And then it was like 10 minutes. And I said to my daughter, ‘This has been a little while,’” said Kuhn. That’s when Kuhn opened her bank app and saw tens of thousands of dollars being transferred between her accounts. She hung up and immediately called the Chase Bank fraud line, and drove to the closest Chase branch in Carlsbad.
