this is just FYI.
Last night at about 10:30pm, my mother, 2 of her friends, and myself all got an automated phone call. the message said, "your Citibank card has been put on hold because we believe someone has accessed your card without authorization. Press 1 now to be transferred to our security department".
now, I immediately knew it was a scam because I don't even have a Citibank card. I would guess that either pressing 1 would've allowed these scammers to get my info or either I would've been transferred to someone who would want to "verify" my info.
This scam is most likely aimed at old people who would unwittingly give up their info over the phone.
just beware. I thought this may have been Ruaround or Crimzy playing a joke, but I doubt it.
