      Phone call from unrecognized number: X: "Hi, we are CREDIT CARD COMPANY X FRAUD DEPARTMENT. We'd like you to verify some information." ME: "Are you kidding me? You're training your customers to fall for scams?!? Nobody should give out info in response to random call." X: "Oh."

      I also like those "click here to enroll in XYZ" emails from credit cards. Training customers to fall for phishing.

      It's mind-boggling the stupid things consumer finance companies will do like this, in spite of the fact that at least in the United States, they usually end up having to cover and/or pay for fraud.https://twitter.com/BoenderCarol/status/1037765638675226626 …

      I got one from my bank saying there were questionable transactions on my account with a button to click to review them. I ignored the button, logged into my account, and looked for a message about the issue. There was nothing, so I assumed a scam. Later, they called, legit.

          Ah, yes, unquestioningly run all the .exe files sent to you by your "CISO"! (Is this like the corporate version of trust-building exercises? Fall backwards into arms of your colleagues or something?)https://twitter.com/advicepig/status/1037780818356260864 …

          On my first day at a govt job, I was sent an exe as an attachment from the CSIO to run called CyberGatekeeper. I asked my boss if this was a test. He shook his head in the saddest way.

          Also, kudos to @Chase for labeling the verification codes as “OTP” without any other explanation on the text messages sent probably to millions of customers, all of whom are no doubt fully-versed in infosec acronyms! Here’s your OTP random bank customer. All legit.pic.twitter.com/jc5taz9cIp

          I got a call from my mortgage lender last week claiming they didn't have my insurance (they did) and asking me to upload a copy of my policy to a website. It looked like a fraud, especially since I *knew* they had my info, so I had to call. But the link was on their site!

          Which is to say, it's very possible it was a legitimate call, since the phone number and PIN they provided were also listed on their site, but this looked really, really fishy to me.
