the detective asked Alice to gather her bank statements and credit cards
he then called his superior at police HQ
I am bringing in a victim of ongoing identity theft
we need the incident room with comms IT forensics and the bank fraud squad
make sure you bring your cell phone said the detective
Alice jumped into the police car and they went lights and sirens
the detective received a radio message from HQ
operation stingray is launched and three SWAT teams mobilized
upon arrival at Police HQ they rushed to the incident room
it was packed with about thirty people and banks of computers
the detective handed the credit cards and bank statements to different groups
he asked Alice to hand over her mobile phone to the comms team
the detective sat a command post with multiple monitors
within minutes he was briefing Alice on his team findings
the gang have made multiple charges on your credit cards
your phone has been hacked and cloned
they have successfully completed a modest wire transfer
that was just a test and a $5000,000 wire transfer request is pending
we now have your bank on the line
they will give us control of the wire transfer authorization call
an operator in a sound proof booth made the call pretending to be the bank
the detective told Alice it will be to your cell phone but this one will not ring
because they are forwarding your calls to another cellphone in their possession
the call went to VM and the operator left a call back message
the detective told Alice to standby
the gang will want to be sure she had not gone to the police yet
a few minutes later Alice got a text from Dave
Hey how is it going….the boys told me you went out
text him back saying you are at the mall said the detective
Dave responded with I miss your smiling face Alice please send me a selfie now
the detective led Alice to a green backdrop to take a selfie
the IT guys added a background and changed the metadata to match the mall location
