Just heard from a client last week who had their credit card compromised and while waiting for their new card to arrive via mail, had more of their cards compromised by a USPS phishing text. The scam was basically a text that said "there was a problem mailing your new credit card" which lead to a USPS cloned website that asked for $0.30 to resolve the issue. My client tried two credit cards (each "failed") before finally realizing what was happening.
- pc86 3y agoI'm continually astounded how many people will be asked for a credit card through no direct action of their own (e.g. an unsolicited text not part of a conversation they initiated) and will just do it. And multiple times! Edit to be clear: I don't think these people are dumb, and I'm sure there is some scenario in which I could fall victim to a similar claim. This is more a comment on people generally as opposed to "those people."
