Subject: FW: scam warning
>From Bruce:
I got an email from a friend of mine yesterday who received a
call at home from someone claiming to be from the Census Bureau.
The caller stated that they were just calling to confirm
information on file for him. They proceeded to go over my friend's
home
address, phone # and full name, wife's name etc..
But when it came to his social security number, they wanted
him to repeat the number to them to "verify what they already
had" they said. Reluctant to do so (warning bells went off)
- my friend said he would call them tomorrow once he had
verified with someone at the Census Bureau that they were
doing cold calling. The caller even had their "supervisor"
get on the line and try to persuade my friend to give the
information. He hung up and immediately called the
telephone company and told them what had taken place.
They were able to trace the call to a Baltimore residence.
Apparently this is the latest scam going around.
They have a perfect opportunity with the census being taken.
Please pass this along to your friends and remind them never to
give out information over the phone.
I guess the FCC is getting in on it because it was over state
lines and that makes it a federal offense. He has already been
contacted by the Feds.
