I'm one to always keep up with the latest phishing scams, and I've tried my bloody hardest to pound this info into my dad's head but to no avail...basically...
BANKS WILL NEVER SEND YOU EMAILS TO VERIFY INFORMATION
Please...Keep your personal information safe & your identities.
Last night a (real) Wells Fargo representative called for my parents over a few suspicious transactions. Dad checked the account when he came home, and discovered 2 $1000 transactions to some other wells fargo account. My father was phished. He replied to what he thought was an official bank email. Please keep this stuff in mind when you get mailings like this in your inbox. My father has had to change accounts (the representative also shut down the account where the money was sent, yay), and put in a fraud report with the credit companies...and they'll have to keep monitoring their credit for the next several months.
PLEASE, I know this is wholly OT, but I don't want to see my fellow Shivaans fall into this despicable trap.
On the positive side, dad is getting the 2k back. Phew.
