It’s the senior citizens who get easily confused that are targeted with these scams. Take care of your elderly family members!
Sadly but true

@Preslee, I’m elderly?
This has been going around for a while. They also call saying they are from the IRS and also call the retailers trying to get employees to load cards.
This is real and doesn’t work exactly as the article says. These folks, just as any fraud entities obtain debit card info from other resources and run low amounts through your bank account like .58 cents to see if you notice. Make sure you check your bank accounts, this happen to my father and an automatic transaction alert from his financial institution help catch it early on.
I only used a White Dot card so I’m safe, lol
I got a call today at my business from (310)868-6160 and told me that I had to pay DWP (department of water and power) and I had 25 mins to call then back with a prepay card… I took the number and said I was going to call them back with the card number! I did call back just to see if they answer and told them I do not owe any money to dwp and you guys are scammers and they said to me.. Then why did you call us back if you do not owe money and hang the phone on me. I also called the utility co and they said to call the sheriff dept. or police dept. to file a report. I called the sheriff dept. and they said since there was no crime they wont do anything and To call the detective bureau to see if they were interested in following up…So i guess we need to pay those scammers in order for the Authorities to take action. I will be calling the detectives tomorrow. Will see!
Seen this way to often happening. Glad to see your putting it out there!!
Same scam. Only they’ll say that you didn’t go to jury duty, and there’s a warrant for your arrest. Just purchase green dot at 711 and give them the number and they will stop the warrant.
I received a call just now and they were saying to get a green card and put $350. They will call back with in an hour for now. The good thing I search for it.
