Attention BECU Members

Comments

Is there any legitimate reason for allowing no-ID calls?

I got one yesterday. Felt it was a scam from a long way off.

Thanks so much for the alert, David. I won't trust any BECU calls asking for my PIN.

We can still give it to Chase Bank calls, though, right?

How does that advice protect people, with the triviality of forging caller ID data?

@3 Give me your PIN and acct number and I'll happily pass it along to Chase for you, saving you the time.

You're welcome!

Even if I know it's actually the bank calling, I'll hang up and call back. Never, ever, give any information over the phone when someone calls you, no matter who they claim to be, or what the Caller ID says.

@1,

I don't answer the phone if the number is unavailable. Hell, I don't answer the phone most of the time if I don't recognize the number, especially if it isn't local.

Friday night before last at 9 pm, Comcast called my boyfriend to try to sell him some additional services. He couldn't understand why they bothered him so late on a Friday. I couldn't understand why he picked up the damn phone.
