Bank Safe Scam
You can never be too sure what’s on the up and up and who’s out to scam you out of your money. The following was posted just today and I felt it was important to share with you all. Please share this with your friends and family members.
Hi! This is abolutely true, because it just happened to me this morning, March 17, 2007.
I just received a call this morning from a company claiming to be called Bank Safe USA. The man recalled companies that I had signed up for on a trial membership with, like one through Vista Prints at the end of the transaction called FunPass or something like that, and asked if they drew money out of my account that I never recovered, ect.
Then he gave me all of my info. back to me: full name, address, phone, the name of my bank and said he was going to help me recover any funds I had lost, blah..blah…blah, and then asked me to grab my check book.
I asked if they had a website and went to it as we were on the phone without his knowledge and asked for a phone number for me to call him back at and he gave me a telephone number similiar to the one on the webpage, but, not exactly the same. He paused while he came up with the last few numbers.
So, I let him know I was looking at the website right then and he got nervous and I told him there was no way I would just give him my bank account number and said goodbye.
After hanging up, I started clicking around on the site and it is a completely fraud site, unclickable, and they are only claiming to help fight fraud.
How low! Not only are they professing to help with fraud issues….They are the fraudsters, if there is such a word, themselves!
Please be cautious for this and other scams out there and never give out your personal information over the phone, no matter how legit you think it is.
Take Care! Sherrie,
