Scam Description
I received several back to back phone calls from a number that I did not recognize. I googled the numbers and found that the number belonged to my credit union. When they called back, the individual said that he was calling from my Credit Union’s fraud department. He claimed someone was trying to use my card at an airport in Dubai among other things. He kept me on the phone for a long time because he was supposedly blocking my debit card. I finally smartened up when he told me I needed to transfer all of the money in my savings to my checking so that he could close the accounts. At which point I ended the call. Unfortunately, I had already stupidly given him all sorts of sensitive information which gave him access to my debit card. Long story short. I’m out $504.40.
