Banks getting scammed by its customers instead of its customers getting scammed by another bank's customers or even the same bank's customers.

www.techradar.com/pro/watch-out-openai-is-being-spoofed-as-part-of-a-major-phishing-attackBe warned, no idea who is behind this. I don’t think AI wants to steal our money yet. But keep your eye on all transactions, I have no idea how these “Artificial” criminals get hold of card details and how to make money via OpenAI. You will probably only believe me when your card has been charged fraudulently and couldn’t figure how they got the card details and make purchase without purchase passcodes

Getting hold of card details is obvious if you read it. Nothing to do with AI , they just happen to be the company used for spoofing, all business users.
"The attack uses an email which impersonates OpenAI and sends an ‘urgent message’ to the victims recommending they update their payment information for their subscription, all through their handy direct link - a textbook phishing technique."

Well, it sounds like you haven’t been a victim of NatWest, Curve, CoOp fraudulent transactions. Your card is sitting in the safe, never used. But they manage to make transactions via subscription without purchases passcodes

You miss the point. Fraudster makes money from Xbox , OpenAI subscription, no idea they get card details from unused cards. The worst one is NatWest. You get a new card with new card number , they manage to make purchases without purchase passcode. It’s so bad the criminals get new card numbers every time a new card issue.

Received a text yesterday saying 'You have an unpaid parking fine. Click on the link below and pay now'.
Would probably have been a bit more convincing if they quoted my registration number and where the car was parked.

I got that one too. Would probably have been a bit more convincing if I had a car.

My partner got it about 6 weeks ago and it gave her 14 days to pay, cleverly they then send another after 13 days saying today is your last chance to pay

I received another text a few days ago.
You have received a new round of heating allowance issued to you by the local city hall. Please be sure to fill in your information complately
Strangely though, the nice lady offering free loft insulation surveys hasn't phoned for several weeks. I do hope she is ok.
