samantha used public wi-fi to log into her bank account. a couple of days later, there were some mysterious withdrawals from her account.

Explanation:

To determine which example shows a victim authorizing a scam or fraud, we analyze each option:

• Deandre's identity theft was due to losing his card (no authorization by him for the fraud).
• Drew's card was copied by the waiter (Drew didn't authorize the waiter's subsequent use).
• Juan gave his credit card number after being deceived into thinking he'd go to jail, so he authorized the scammers by providing the number.
• Samantha's account was compromised due to public Wi - Fi (she didn't authorize the withdrawals).

Answer:

C. Juan got a call saying he had unpaid parking tickets and they asked for his credit card number. He gave it to them to avoid going to jail.
