I almost got scammed. I was totally distracted trying to contact the owner of a cell phone I found, which was making all sorts of noise. then my phone rings and I think maybe it's them calling for their phone. It shows as unknown caller or something. I answer and it says it's bank of america and my phone has been locked for security
reasons. this actually happened about a month ago. the found cell phone is making odd noises again. it says to press 1 to unblock my phone and talk to a security officer. I press 1. It says my card will be unblocked and to enter my 16 digit card number. I'm annoyed that I'm not talking to a real person and that the stupid rescued cell phone is making so many odd noises and am about to enter my 16 digit number when my brain engages. I curse and hang up.
when my card number did get stolen they texted me, called me, emailed me and when I called them I immediately talked to a real person and I was NOT asked for my bank card number.
on the bright side, I did connect with the lady who lost her cell phone and she is soooo happy and we are going to meet up tomorrow so I can give it to her. I found it on the side of the road while I was jogging. well, floyd found it first. It was in a weird place and I thought it probably fell off her car and that's what happened. she set it on the top of her car and drove off. it sounds like her kids were being difficult and she's sick and she just forgot.
