Here&#8217;s how it goes: got a call, the caller ID was my bank. The guy says he&#8217;s from the fraud dept, calling about my debit card ending in &#8212;-(the 4 correct numbers), and asks if i&#8217;d been traveling, reports 2 suspicious charges that happened at out-of-state stores (Lowe&#8217;s and Walmart). I said nope, wasn&#8217;t me. He says they&#8217;ll send me a new card. He knows my address. He knows all my phone numbers. He sends a verification code to my cell and asks me to read it to him. THEN HE ASKS FOR MY PIN NUMBER, so he can deactivate it. That&#8217;s where I said &#8220;no.&#8221; But he has an answer for my suspicions: he says look at the number I&#8217;m calling from, it matches the number on the back of your card. It does! But still, then I said let me call you back and he hung up! I reported this to my bank&#8217;s fraud dept, who said WE WOULD NEVER ASK FOR YOUR PIN NUMBER. (And immediately canceled my card.) They also said this is the new scam, they&#8217;re hearing about it a lot. Tell everyone! I knew also right away because as I was on the call&#8230; I checked with my identity protection service because I would have gotten an alert from my service before this call ever came.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">+<\/div>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"mail\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1663058102\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Beware Of This Debit Card Scam (Unedited)\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the mail: + \u201cBEWARE, Don&#8217;t fall this very sophisticated debit card scam.
