Scammer Misses Mark w/DFO
I was in Redding, Calif., on vacay when I received a cellphone message that my Wells Fargo debit card had been blocked. The message urged me to Dial 1 and then answer some questions. I immediately dialed the 800 number on the back of my debit card -- and discovered that the card had been blocked because I was rolling up debits at strange places along my vacay route. I didn't think much about the original message afterward. Today, my wife got the same message, urging her to Dial 1 and answer questions. She called the 800 number on the back and learned that the card wasn't blocked. A scammer was trying to get personal information to gain access to my debit card. Lousy jerk.
Question: Have you been the target of a scam attempt this year?
