Scam?


Ferret

Recommended Posts

A couple of days ago, I received a telephone call from "Telmex"... except that I don't think it was Telmex just someone phishing for information.

They had the previous owner's name but wanted mine. Say what? Since I've been receiving Telmex bills in MY name for over a year, I became suspicious. I said "IF you're calling from Telmex, then you KNOW my name. Adios".

The number that they were calling from said "private" whereas Telmex calls always show the number and it usually starts with 555.

Be warned. I believe that this person was phishing for my name with the hope that they would find me on facebook (not a chance btw) and discover family names, friends and acquaintances that they could use to pull the "accident scam... deposit x amount to x account at OXXO".

Maybe I'm being paranoid but maybe not. I've sat on this for a couple of days before posting but have decided to sit out the flame throwing if it happens. Just a heads up to anyone interested.
