Spoof scam callers using company caller IDs, real phone numbers to steal money from bank accounts

Spoof phone calls where the caller ID has the name of a company, but is associated with a fake number, is a common scam.

Skinger-Byrd said the caller told her he was trying to protect her from fraud, and he knew some of her transaction history. He told her that there was a person "trying to request $2,000. What we need to do is we need to stop these transactions." Chase Bank says if customers share information with a stranger, they are not protected under the bank's fraud protection agreement.
