Beware of phishing scam

[Warpy]

22. The number is most likely spoofed

Worse ones are the ones from your bank telling you there has been suspicious activity on your account. They give a list of 3 recent transactions. Two are marked accepted, one is marked declined. This one is slick as hell, the "accepted" debits are place you've actually spent some money.

Well, banks don't contact you like that, they telephone and verify your information from their end, so I knew this was phishing, but man, it's slick, obviously they've managed to tap into old statements or something. So I finked them out. Please be aware of this one.

These scammers also call you "from the fraud department: of your bank. The accent is Indian and very thick. I played along for about half an hour, poor little widder woman, really busted the guy's balls. Then I got bored and let him have it and he couldn't hang up fast enough. I knew it was a scam (the emails hadn't arrived yet) because he was asking for information the bank has and would give me to verify my identity. They tell you, you don't tell them. Pleae be aware of this.

I really hate these people, I imagine they make an outrageously good living scamming old folks just like me but who aren't bitter, cynical, and suspicious. I know how it works, they rent legitimate call centers when the workday is over, even using somebody else's infrastructure to rip people off.

(Nobody can twist people into knots the way a sweet little old lady can. He will have nightmares. For the record, I am not sweet)
