A hardworking 18-year-old Albany resident, Aurora Casilli, has lost her life savings of $36,000 in seconds as she fell victim to a sophisticated bank scam. 

Aurora told 6PR Mornings host Gary Adshead, that she woke to a text from NAB that stated an unauthorised transaction had gone through on her account.

"I was immediately freaking out - so I didn't think for a second and contacted the 1800 number and once I clicked on the number it was like 'welcome to NAB please select your options' so I selected my option, the little song went on for an hour where I was then asked to provide my details,

"Everything was so legit, I could not believe it. They basically said no worries we will create a new account where you can transfer your money - I immediately transferred the money and that's when the guy hung up the call."
