Amelia Mandeville-Marinaro and her husband were victims of a bank scam that drained their life savings. While she was on maternity leave, her husband received a call about a supposed bank hack, leading them to transfer funds to an unknown account. Despite her initial skepticism, Mandeville-Marinaro approved the transaction, believing it was a safeguard. Now, she shares their story on TikTok to educate others about the red flags of such scams, emphasizing that legitimate banks will never ask customers to transfer money to secure their accounts.
Holding back tears while sharing the story in a TikTok video, Mandeville-Marinaro said Pete followed the steps from the caller who 'seemed to know the details about our account, how much was in our savings.'
