Bank of Whitman Phishing Scam
Tonight I received an interesting text message. It read as follows;
alert@bankofwhitman.com
(Whit)Alert ! Please Contact Bank0f
Whitman At : 877 727 O714 . Thank you .
Nobody in my family is a Bank of Whitman customer so to me this is an obvious phishing attempt. I figured I would call the number, record the message and post it here so that people could hear what the phishing scam sounded like.
I also noticed that if I called the number with two phones at the same time, one of them would go to voicemail. Based on a few attempts to call the number using only one phone, and rolling to voicemail it's obvious that there are others calling the number. Hopefully they are smart enough to not provide their account number, expiration date and pin. At least the criminals were nice enough to not ask for the CVV.
You can download the recording here.
