We are seeing an increase in “Cold Calls” from scammers attempting to get information from individuals. The scam is relatively the same, you get a call, they tell you your card has been compromised.
From there they will transfer you to “security” or ask you to “verify information.” Remind folks NEVER to give out any information to someone that calls them. If they get one of these calls and want to check on their cards, simply hang up, call the number on the back of their credit/debit cards and speak directly with the company who issued it.
The scammers are using ghost dialers and their calls will appear to be an 800 number or even a local exchange number.
