    Default New phising scam :ACH transfer rejection notice

    Just got this one, didnt even mention amount or account number, I didnt show the link so no one would get slimed by mistake as Im sure it has tracking or some virus ( I didnt click it either)

    The ACH payment ID: ACH860485012616US, that had been sent from your checking account lately, was declined by the recipient.

    I had two unauthorized changes on my debit card recently - both from credit protection somethings. One was for $15 and change and the other was for $1. I called the bank and they told me somehow someone got a hold of my account info. Funny thing - I recently donated to one of the RP moneybombs. Anyway, they said it is not usual for them to ping your account for $1 and if it works, go for larger amounts. They refunded me and had to cancel my debit card and send me a new one. It took about 20 minutes and was a hassle. I had had that card for 13 years with no problem.

    They have scanning devices now that can scan card details while they are in your wallet, I'm looking for one of those shields that you put your cards in to prevent this from happening.

    Everyone at work was getting these emails, sometimes 2-3 a day, until we finally got it blocked! Agreed, it is almost impossible to believe that people would be stupid enough to fall for something like this, but it happens.
