identity theft

[Tyler Aviss]

Goes along the lines of the "you won a vacation, what's your CC #" scams.
Between my work and personal cell I was called over a dozen times by those
bugges.

I'm sure they get enough hits to make it worthwhile,  and nobody seems to do
anything about it.

I received a call from 023 456-7890

The caller identified themselves as being affiliated with bell canada
and offering a cell phone at an awesome price with no network fees

Then proceed to ask personal information such as birth day, drivers
license number, etc.

I phoned bell and they indicated it was an attempt at identity theft.
Now I realize most of us on this list are wary enough to see this
coming, but the more people know about it the better.
