This is second hand information from a family member.
Caller reporting to be Officer David Daniels reports conducting an investigation for "CBI" - Criminal Bureau of Investigation?
Davids boss is "James Brown"
Both have heavy Indian accents and both threaten legal action.
The scary thing was the caller had my relatives SSN and knew she had a Wells Fargo account. The callers also called my relatives friend and mother in regards to their "Investigation"
It was comical calling them back as their Indian accents are so heavy. They did know they were using a number in Pennsylvania and they did manually dial phone numbers on their key pad when pretending to transfer calls to different extensions. Pretty inept as far as scammers go but apparently they are still fooling enough people to make this wroth their time.
I am in law enforcement and am trying to track down what I can but unfortunately this seems to be originating overseas.
Auto-generated call stating - "This is Bank of America, we regret to inform you that your debit card has been locked. Press 1 to be transferred to the security department." It hung up after a 5 second wait.
I'm in telecom and used to work for Bank of America and know BofA doesn't use this cheap equipment or low standard practices. Scam.
Auto-generated call stating - "This is Bank of America, we regret to inform you that your debit card has been locked. Press 1 to be transferred to the security department." I hung up immediately.
