Oh, wow! Close call! I have heard enough bad stories I don't talk to anyone that calls from any financial institution or call them back at the number they give. If I do get a call like that about anything financial, I just call the number I have listed and see if anything is up. Also, I don't talk to anyone that calls to offer anything such as different phone service, trips or electric service, etc. Any response can be used in any way they want. Mostly, my Answering Machine screens all calls and I just listen.
Think this is tied somehow to your recent identify theft or loss of credit card - I can't recall what happened to you exactly as I am brain-addled right now as my son just called to say the snow is going to prevent him coming for Christmas(!) but could this be tied to that or is this just the regular old scammers at work?
