Scam
SCAM: Reposting from Melani Spielman "Scammer alert! Just a heads up everyone, I have gotten three scam calls in the last couple of days. All spoofing different banks. The first one was Citi, then Chase, and most recently Wells Fargo, you can see in my picture that they even fooled my scam detector with the Wells Fargo one. They will appear as the bank's names on your caller ID because they're unfortunately able to fake that nowadays. Be on the lookout for these scam calls and whatever you do, do not answer for them, or they will mark down your number as a valid one and you'll get 10 times as many spam calls. I use a built in screening tool to deter them, but if you do not have that option, your best bet is to just ignore the call and if you're worried it is your bank, then call your bank directly or go in person. The scammers are calling to try to get information from you like your name, address, email, age, and anything else that they can use to hack accounts. If you answer a call from a bank that they're spoofing, they'll know that you have some connection with that particular Bank. They'll pretend to be from the customer service department. What they usually do next is they'll take your name and any information that you give them and they'll try to get into your account, and when they can't get the password, they'll send something to your email asking for a reset code, then they'll ask you to try to get that reset code. If you give it to them, they have full access to your bank accounts and can even block you out of them I don't want anyone I know losing money or time to these jerks. Stay vigilant, and warn others that might not know about spoofing." If you encounter this scam, contact HPD (Honolulu Police Department) at 911 non-emergency.
