was bilked out of 30K. The scammers took her for 15K, then the following week got her to hand over another 15K, all in cash. Hairstylist is furious with the bank for not questioning why she was withdrawing large sums like that. My weekly small town newspaper has a fraud section in its police reporting, and I am amazed that so many people are falling for the “You’ve won a car: We just need some cash up front for shipping fees” type scam.

Somehow they had details that tricked her. I found this odd since she and my dad told me years ago that stuff from the Dept of Treasury, Social Security and tax info. is never done over the phone and to never fall for it. Maybe after my dad died she was more vulnerable emotionally.

Claimed that her son, newly enrolled in college, was in jail, demanded that she fork over bond money before she could speak to him. She almost fell for it but the son happened to have called his dad right before the scam call. I’ve gotten a couple of phishing texts lately, one supposedly from my internet provider claiming that I owed money. I called internet provider directly and they said I was golden.

I was very gullible until recently, older but wiser I guess.

those withdrawals? Keep in mind that persons at the bank are not looking at the many thousands of withdrawals that occur every week, perhaps even every day. It's the account holder who needs to be aware, be informed, understand what's going on.
