Beware of a new scam going around.. .. call from First American Bank.

Two links to get more info...one from Consumer Advice Group...and the second is from a real bank whose name is being used and has nothing to do with this.....the call that I got five minutes ago, said that my debit card has been suspended, and if I wanted to get it back I was to press one...you see.........I don't have a debit card.......

from the link:
The scheme, referred to as vishing, has a scammer pretending to be a bank official and calling people to see if they'll reveal their financial information and security numbers. Hofer (a bank officer warned consumers not to provide personal or financial information over the phone to such callers, and to immediately report the incident to their banks.
