Bank Scam
The set up for this scam is elaborate. It is not one of your typical cold call scams.
“Anita” received a call from, and the number matched that of her bank. The scammer had the last four numbers of her credit card and charged a small amount to her card so the victim would see the charge. The suspect used that information to convince the victim to give up her personal information. He convinced her to give him her two part authentication number that was texted to her when he accessed her account. The suspect then used Zelle to steal the money in her account. Anita was not convinced completely and called her bank who conformed her suspicions, but not before she lost $4,000.
