So locally we've had people calling claiming to be a rep from the Credit Union and need your account number to "unfreeze it". They even made it so far as to make it appear the credit union is calling on the caller ID.
   I can't believe people fall for this but they always do. Reminder... you should NEVER give out your personal info of any kind over the phone.

There isn't any money in there so I'm not concerned.

Spoofing caller ID is easier than spoofing TCP/IP packet source IPs. And that isn't very hard.
Contact the telephone company when this happens. Scammers can fool a a little caller ID on your end but not the telephone companys switchlogs. The only real setback is if they are using a cellular phone, then it gets much more difficult. The FBI is very interested in these kinds of scams though. We should nuke Nigeria. lol |
