Banking Fraud Alert
Just a heads up in case this happens to you.
A few days ago I started getting recorded phone calls allegedly from Bank of America saying that my debit card was compromised. I played the message back and noticed that they were asking for a name I didn't know, the last four digits of a card that wasn't mine, and they provided a code to enter. This sounded very fishy to me so I called the bank's number on the back of my card and asked them if they were familiar with the number. They told me that it was an example of phishing.
Later in the day I got another call from them and I decided to navigate their system without giving any information. They kept asking for PINs and account numbers for an entire range of banking products from checking through retirement funds and offered the options of saying the numbers. I kept saying fraud and got nowhere with that and just hung up. I then blocked their number.
So ... beware! Lots of tricksters out there.
