I got a call from a very good scammer last night. He knew my name and my bank. Caller ID was my bank's number. Said there had been suspicious activity on my account. Listed 2 large transactions that I hadn't made. Said they would cancel my card and reissue a new one.
Until then it all sounded legit. Then he asked for the last 8 digits of my credit card.
I said I would call the bank directly. Sure enough, scam.
Turns out a relative fell for the same one last month.

"Scammers Target Desperate EV Drivers with Fraudulent QR Codes
Fake QR codes direct EV drivers to a malicious site when all they want is to charge their car."
by Dan Carney, Senior Editor
September 9, 2024
"[S]cammers are replacing the EV charging networks’ QR codes with their own, directing these unsuspecting victims to their own malicious site. Once there, drivers enter their credit card information in a bid to pay for a charge, only to have the scammers steal that information for misuse.
...
'Quishing, or QR phishing, is a cybersecurity threat in which attackers use QR codes to redirect victims to malicious websites or prompt them to download harmful content,' explains security specialist company Cloudflare."
Had my credit card stolen and used by someone in Brooklyn. No idea how my card was stolen or when. Last time I was in NYC was over a year ago.
I hoped they enjoyed their $70 pasta dinner, the card was shut down shortly after. No loss to me. #creditcardfraud

Somebody cloned my debit card and emptied my bank account this week. It's a card that I've hardly used, one time at an ATM, one time online, the other transactions in places I trust, doctor's offices etc. Never a restaurant or somewhere publicly accessible ... I don't think it was skimmed but it's hard to imagine how it happened. #fraud #theft #banking #CreditCardFraud

Global News BC: Suspect sought in $75,000 fraud case involving stolen credit, debit cards in Burnaby https://globalnews.ca/news/9724385/suspect-sought-fraud-case-burnaby-bc/ #globalnews #britishcolumbia #news #Metrotownfraudcase #Burnabyfraudcase #CreditCardFraud #Metrotowntheft #IdentityTheft #Burnabycrime #burnabyrcmp #Crime
One of my rarely-used credit cards was compromised, as someone tried to Grubhub some Denny's with it today (no grand slam for you!). The fact that it was used at GH means they have the CVV and my zip. I've only ever used this card with big PCI DSS-audited merchants (like Amazon), and the very few in-person transactions on this card never involved someone else having a chance to glean the CVV from the back (I always inserted or tapped while having physical control of the card).
Where the hell did they get my CVV? #crime #fraud #creditcardfraud
