"Android and iPhone Users Beware: Bank-Emptying Phone Scam Targets Two Major Brands"

AT&T has issued a warning to Android and iPhone users about a phone scam that can empty their bank accounts in seconds. Scammers pretend to be from government agencies like the IRS or Social Security Administration and demand immediate payment of back taxes or debts using prepaid debit cards or gift cards like Amazon or iTunes, or wire transfers. AT&T advises hanging up and contacting the organization directly using official website or app details to verify the claims.
