Singer Matheus, from the duo with Kauan, loses R $ 700 thousand after having cell phone stolen in SP

Matheus Aleixo, known for joining country duo Matheus and Kauan, was the victim of a digital blow after having a stolen cell phone in the city of São Paulo.

The crime happened while the singer was driving by car by Marginal Pinheiros, at the time of Vila Olímpia, south of São Paulo, last Wednesday (28).

The estimated loss exceeds R $ 700 thousand, which was transferred by criminals through PIX operations. The most alarming, according to Matheus, is that the scammers got access to their bank account even after it triggers the iPhone tracking system and trying to block the device.

The singer reported the situation in a video published on a secondary profile on social networks, as his official profile was also committed during the attack. “I haven’t been able to recover my main account yet. The bandit has changed all passwords and is accessing to my WhatsApp,” he said, visibly shaken.

Matheus also criticized the absence of security mechanisms by the financial institution involved. “More than 700 thousand reais were stolen via Pix, and the bank did not come to me to confirm if it was me. I believe they will resolve, so I will not mention the name of the bank,” he said, avoiding exposing the institution for now.

According to the artist, the theft happened quickly: the cell phone was torn from his hands by a person who approached the car window, which was partially open. From there, they had time to invade various accounts and change sensitive data, making immediate block difficult.
