The one time I ran into something like this I called my local office of the FBI, and it took surprisingly little time to get a knowledgeable agent on the phone. I turned over logs and they got to work on it that night. I would call immediately. On 4/1/10 5:46 PM, nick hatch wrote:

Hi all,

I've been receiving bizarre credit card phishing calls which are far more sophisticated than many I've heard of. The caller purports to be be from "Card Services" and says you qualify for interest rate adjustments. They then lure you into providing your credit card number, expiration date, and other information.

The calls I received carried CID : 714-360-xxxx. When you call this number, a recording says something along the lines of "this is a scam. The person who called you was trying to get your credit card number. Please call your local law enforcement, your bank, and don't give out any information." This leads me to believe that SIP fraud is probably involved here too.

There is another number (772-408-13xx) which is still live and accepting phone calls. The scam has been going for several days now.

The banking industry has its own set of fraud-prevention groups, but I'm unsure about their efficacy in cases of ongoing scams like this. Does anyone have any appropriate contacts (law enforcement, or otherwise) who would be clueful and appropriate to contact?

Thanks,

-Nick
