“I couldn’t even believe how sophisticated it was”: Teacher loses life savings after getting call from what he thought was Chase Bank

Texas teacher Russell Leahy, 28, spent years building up his savings, often foregoing vacations and going out on weekends. That’s why when he received a call from what he thought was Chase Bank telling him his account was compromised, he acted fast. 

Leahy told WFAA he was scammed into moving his $32,000 in savings to a new account. That account is presumably owned by the scammers.

He told the news outlet in an exclusive interview that he received a call from people pretending to be Chase Bank representatives.
