I have a dumb fraud story.
A fraudster called me up (I knew it was a fraudster right away). I played along as he said there had been some fraudulent activity on my account - payments from random locations etc.etc.
The crux was that he wanted to send me a verification code from PayPal. This is where I was dumb. I assumed it was from a fake PayPal messaging system and they knew the number already. When they asked me to repeat it back to them I pretended to be dumb and gave a fake number back, repeatedly. I at first thought they knew the number. It then hit me that they didn't know the number and were actually trying to break into my PayPal account. I was so dumb! Still no bad outcome other than me looking stupid.
