A few years ago, I shared a little story about being a victim of a scam and I asked if you were ever caught by one. I also talked once about not disclosing personal information over the phone to someone purporting to be from the bank. Well, as is wont to happen with scams, there is a cyclical nature to them and I have just almost come close to being a victim of one.
I wanted to share my experience of what has turned out to be a popular phone scam locally, so if it happens to you, or someone you know, you will be aware that is a scam and what you should be doing, as opposed to what you should do following a voice over a phone.
If this has happened to you, do share your story if you are comfortable doing so, and what you have done about it.
