Alice sent the selfie with three heart emojis
the detective said the gang will be checking the metadata now to verify your location
a few minutes later the gang called the bank to verify the wire transfer
the call was picked up at police HQ
the skilled operator pretended to be from the bank
he was stalling to keep the call open as long as possible
Alice was surprised that the caller sounded just like her
and equally surprised that she answered all the bank security questions
the patrolling SWAT team locations were on a huge screen
soon the police traced the calling cell phone
they dispatched the nearest SWAT team
who arrived minutes later to arrest the entire gang
They also arrested satellite teams who were roaming in vans
printing out stolen ATM cards and withdrawing cash
the detective thanked Alice for her help
he said they had been trying to catch this gang for months
Alice wanted to understand how the gang got all her information
the detective explained how they work
Dave is an experienced actor and con artist
he targeted you as a wealthy single woman
while you were dating Dave he was recording all your conversations
to build up a voice profile database
the gang used that with some sophisticated software to call your bank
Dave got to know you well enough to answer the bank security questions
Dave probably used your computer sometime with your permission
he then installed spyware to record all your keystrokes
when the boys came they accessed the spyware to obtain all your passwords
the wire transfer requests came from your computer to make them appear authentic
the boys probably copied your credit cards while you were asleep
do not feel bad said the detective many people have fallen victim to this gang
luckily we got them before they they stole all your money
Alice declared she was done with online dating
