Stay Alerted! UK Consumers Lost £25 Million With Screen Sharing!

FCA Charlene Lensburg -
Online trading scams use AnyDesk or TeamViewer to access their victims' screens and get access to their bank accounts or wallets to transfer their funds. Screen sharing is a super dangerous feature in principle and consumers should be super cautious when sharing their screens. A new FCA research has found that 47% of investors would fail to identify a screen-sharing scam. Screen sharing scam cases increased by 86% in one year, with 2,014 cases and over £25 million in losses.
