No big news here, but here is a live phone phish that’s operating right now. Phone phishes are a phonenemon that have been around for a while now and they are quite ingenious at deceiving users.
Since not many people have actually experienced a phone phish, Castlecop’s Paul Laudanski and I figured we’d record one for you.
If you dial the number 1-805-214-4801, you will get an automated service that asks you to enter your 16 digit account number. (Obviously, don’t call this number and enter anything.) You can hear what it sounds like here..
Remember to report phishing emails to PIRT, at www.castlecops.com/pirt. They really do get acted upon.
