Bank Account Phishing

Recommended Posts

I've received several phishing calls on my cell phone this week.

The caller tells me that I've won $5,000 bucks and they need my bank account number for a direct deposit. I giv'em a line of shit and they are happy.


Obviously it's a scam....so what would tell'em when they call YOU?

Don't go away mad....just go away!

First, ask for a number where you can call them back when you get home to look up your account #.

Unlikely they'll give it, but you can get them to call you back a few times. Remember to act excited.

Eventually you have to give out new cheese- so give out the wrong number, like the ABA number of a bank you don't use. When this fails, they may call back, get angry and swear that you'll kill the bastards at the bank and to wait a couple more days.

I think hanging up is the best bet. You don't know who you might be pissing off these days.

Not exactly a phishing incident, but anybody remember the TV commercial where a telemarketer calls some dude who was asleep, he gets mad, flies over, finds the telemarketer at the desk and stomps the shit out of his phone or computer or whatever it was, for a Snickers commercial...

Funny as shit... :D

But hey, thank GOD I don't have to deal with telemarketers or other dumb fucks. I don't have a traditional phone or cell phone. :ph34r::ph34r:
