Important decision on the "boleto scam", published on October 9, 2023, in which financial institutions are responsible for the damage caused. This will be the case when the improper processing of personal banking data by the bank has contributed to the viability of the scam, facilitating scams against consumers.
According to the STJ, banks are objectively responsible for fraud and crimes committed by third parties, such as opening accounts and obtaining loans with false documents. "The scammers are aware of the victims' personal data and use it to persuade them, using psychological techniques, in order to achieve their illicit objectives."
However, in order to hold the bank responsible, it is necessary to identify precisely what data was in the possession of the criminals, investigate the origin of the leak and determine the responsibility of those involved.
In the judgment of REsp 2.077.278-SP, Justice Nancy Andrighi, of the Third Panel of the Superior Court of Justice.
If you have been a victim of the boleto scam, consult a lawyer and find out what measures to take.
