I was tricked by a phone-phisher pretending to be from my bank, and he convinced me to hand over my credit-card number, then did $8,000+ worth of fraud with it before I figured out what happened.

    Told a family member the same when she almost got tricked by a scammer & called me to see if it was legit. They wouldn’t try it if it wasn’t convincing enough to catch people in the scam to make it worth their time to do this crime instead of some other.
