Geez! They’re getting more and more brazen and bold out there. Beware of any pre-recorded phone calls you get telling you to visit your bank’s website to update info. Check out this article published in the online version of Jefferson City, MO’s local newspaper, The News Tribune.
It states an estimated 50,000 residents in Jefferson City and three of the surrounding counties received these calls. Folks, Jefferson City’s population is only about 35,000 last I checked (I lived there many moons ago), and the surrounding area is rural counties with small towns. That’s a awfully high percentage of calls for one lightly populated geographical area!
You know, that’s just not real smart. Surely they realized enough people in a small metro area that size would know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody who ALSO knows somebody, and, therefore, word would get around fast.
