Multiple reports describe a scam pattern in which victims first see their mobile phones display a “No Service” message, often shortly before fraudulent activity occurs on their bank accounts. In these cases, perpetrators appear to disrupt connectivity and then proceed with unauthorized financial transfers. Victims typically do not immediately realise they have been targeted. Instead, they learn of the attack after they receive notifications—such as emails indicating successful fund transfers—or when they check their accounts and find balances have been emptied. The timing is consistent across accounts: the loss of service appears to occur minutes before the transactions are completed. The reports emphasize that the harm is discovered after the fact, relying on alerts from banking systems or messages from transfer confirmations, rather than immediate detection. While the exact technical method used to trigger the “No Service” state is not detailed in the provided material, the overall pattern links brief loss of mobile service to subsequent, successful account drain through fraudulent transfers.
