automated phone call banking scam alert

<p>“This is Wachova bank. Due to a security problem all debit cards have been deactivated. In order to reactivate your card please press one and follow directions.”</p>

<p>This was pretty disarmig as it was late at night, I was awaken by the phone and it was the actual name of my bank calling my home phone. There was no way to get the message to repeat itself.</p>

<p>Apparently this scam jumps from area to area and names the most popluar banks in your area and sends the call. Apparently ends up asking card # and pin although I had hung up before that.</p>

<p>Anyway just spreading the word :)</p>

<p>We live in a bizarro world.</p>

<p>I just recently got an email purporting to be from B of A telling me that my online banking may have been compromised and had been deactivated pending my answering a few questions. </p>

<p>SCAM!</p>
