Andy Cohen Opens Up About Falling Victim to Costly Bank Fraud Scam

Andy Cohen, the host of "Watch What Happens Live!" and "Daddy Diaries" podcast, disclosed that he was scammed out of a significant amount of money by fraudsters posing as his bank. The scammers contacted him after he lost a card, making the communication seem legitimate. They gained access to his bank accounts by tricking him into providing personal information and setting up call and message forwarding. Cohen is currently trying to recover the stolen funds and advises others to be vigilant with emails and to visit their bank branches if they suspect fraudulent activity. The FBI's 2023 report highlights phishing as the top reported internet crime in 2022.
