I was tricked by a phone-phisher pretending to be from my bank, and he convinced me to hand over my credit-card number, then did $8,000+ worth of fraud with it before I figured out what happened.

    For BankID it somewhat does, because only registered services can make the request - so they’d need to register a scam service and then use that. Which also makes it an easier job for anti-fraud police.

    So it’d be a lot more complicated.

    Like obviously at a certain point if someone is willing to do everything they can - then they will be scammed, see this for example: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-67208755

    But the more steps there are, the higher the chance the person realises it is a scam.
