Banks do this as well. I made a purchase, and within minutes got a very scammy looking e-mail from them - low quality gifs, asking me to click on links to a random non-bank website(something like purchase-verification-users.net/235532/confirm.html, and the site wasn’t coming up on any searches). At the same time I get a call from a random number asking me to go over some purchases - I looked up the number, and it’s none of the ones listed for my bank.
So I hang up and call my bank directly. I spend 10 minutes going through the phone maze to talk to someone. Finally I get to them, and they confirm that is a number that they use to contact people. How come when you list numbers on your website you don’t list this one? Well, they said they often call from numbers they haven’t listed online. How about that e-mail, do you send those? Well, we sometimes contact people by e-mail, if it says it’s from us in the from: line you can click on it. Did you guys send that one? I don’t have that information; don’t click on it if the from: line isn’t us, but if it is, go ahead.
