Would you have fallen for this phone scam?
quote:
You may have heard that today’s phone fraudsters like to use caller ID spoofing services to make their scam calls seem more believable. But you probably didn’t know that these fraudsters also can use caller ID spoofing to trick your bank into giving up information about recent transactions on your account — data that can then be abused to make their phone scams more believable and expose you to additional forms of identity theft.

I would like to say no.... But who knows. The take away of course is *always* hang up and call back.

Did you read this one (linked in the article you linked):

Anyway, thanks for posting this, I'm going to share it with my mother.

Ugh.

Never ever give any information over the phone to anyone you did not call.

I will say no. I grew up in the Johnson era. It's a telephone, people. Stop getting confused!
