Scam on the phone

Personally anyone, especially a restaurant that would fall for this one, and give out personal information like this would be their own fault if they were scammed or had money taken from them. Never will I give out my Bank information to anyone unless I know for sure they are legit. There are so many SCAMS going around again that you really need to be careful. It is a shame that so many times none of these people are never caught or turned in as well.

That seems like an old time scam. and I can believe anything. People will stop at nothing to steal money from some one. I think thats disgusting. I would have the phone number traced and report it to the police. Because if they tried to do it to him, they are trying it with lots of other people.

I don't think that ever happens here in my country because we don't pay credit cards through phone. If we ordered something and have it delivered, we always pay in cash. I think the only scam that happens or perhaps it's called 'prank' is when people try to order then send the ordered food or stuff to another house then the home owner needs to settle it with the company. But this has been eliminated when the companies got smarter and would call back the customer to verify that indeed we ordered something. But I guess as long as there are gullible people, there will be people who'd take the chance and try to scam us. Have a great MyLot experience today!

Really hate it when people do something like this. Don't they have anything else worthwhile to do with their own lives instead of cheating on other people? REally hate scammers.

hellow, i think some people really.... need divine intervention.How can someone give his or her bank account number to a total stranger without grasping that it was a trap...i guise that's why we leave in a crazy world....

Our company manages different stores on franchised. One of the trainings we gave is one that deals for calls on delivery. When somebody orders a bulk, we ask for a half downpayment in cash. Then, we ask for the telephone number where we could contact the person, which we will confirm as to whether this might be a prank call. It was for more than twice, that we discovered that an order was a hoax when we called the telephone number after 10 minutes to check.

Believe it or not, something like that isn't as rare as you might think it is. People can be like that, and hearing about it isn't really all that shocking to me anymore. I've read news stories, seen things far worse then someone trying to get bank information over the phone to an unknown stranger. At lest that restaurant was smart and quickly realized the scam. Because, there's one going on that's far worse. A spanish-speaking man or woman calls, says they have a realitive hostage. If you don't wire so much amount of money... you won't see them alive. That's the most current and far worse out there phone-wise that I've recently learned about. Most people don't fall for it, and call whomever is put into question to confirm saftey (as anyone would do) so... the scammer isn't catching that many people. Scams are not that hard to spot. Often the scammer is real dumb. So stuff like this isn't all that shocking... at least not to me.

Honestly it is my first time to hear this another technique of scammers.They are very innovative I tell you. I remember a guy I met in a social site.He seemed to be nice,He talks of his kid who is in another country taken care of by a nanny.And the guy said he is in Africa working as an engineer.Hahah.Then one day he said if I can take care of his kid. he could bring the kid to my country.Then another day, he said that for some reason he can't send money to his kid and so he asked a favor if he could channel the money to my bank account. I was saying to myself...hellllllloooo? Do you think I am that stupid?????? (^_^)

That's one of the stupidest scams I've heard in a long time. Not even a dummy would fall for that.

actually today have a lot of scam motive even in the internet the scam site are scatters probably in the phone is possible to have some that kind of style, anyway just be careful and beware for the transaction that engage before dealing investigate first so that we cannot be a victim.
