   @Adam_Cadmon1 have had this happen multiple times. It's crazy how spoofable phone numbers are. Now, if I see my bank come up on caller ID, I just let it go to VM and call my bank directly right away. One area where mild paranoia is quite warranted these days.

     Just got targeted by a phishing scam. Called me from what looked like my bank's customer service number.

     The questions the "rep" was asking were weird and my spider-sense was going crazy. I asked if I could call him back and then called my bank.

     No one from my bank attempted to contact me or left notes on my account to the effect that it had been compromised, as the original "rep" said.

     Be careful out there.
