Guest guest Posted March 18, 1999 Report Share Posted March 18, 1999 Hi All, Did I send this already... If so... sorry. I just want you to be aware of the following I received. It could be a scam or whatever.... you take it from here: Meg, N.Y. ›››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››› This is NOT a joke, worth attention. Got this from a friend who got it from a friend... I received a call from a man this weekend telling me he represented my bank and that they were having difficulty meeting requirements to be computer ready for Y2K. He said all bank customers would need to transfer their accounts to a bond account specially designed to protect our money until the bank could fully comply with Y2K requirements. He then said to verify that he was talking to the proper account person I needed to confirm information about myself, my account numbers and then give verbal authorization to transfer funds to this specially designed account. I don't trust folks who do this kind of thing so I asked him which of the banks I use did he represent. He was not able to do that and hung up at that point. Please pass this info to friends or family because this is a huge scam that is going on all across the country. Some people would be scared to think they would lose all their money (which he said was sure to happen if I didn't do this now) and would supply the information without first checking this out. . I notified the phone company of the call - since I have caller ID, I could give them a number but the identifier just said " out of area " . It came from a 248 area code which is around Detroit. Anyway, just passing this along so you'd be aware and beware. Have a good day. .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
