A voice phishing alert has been posted at Sophos about a phish email that was sent to inboxes of people.

The email wants the caller to dial a 1-800 number since the sender, a credit union, supposedly placed the user’s account on hold due to a fraud attempt.

Sophos compared the phone numbers and they noted that they are different. If a user dialed the phone number, he or she will be asked to give his or her card number and PIN. It does not ask the caller for a Social Security number. However, the scammers can drain the funds through an ATM if they have the card number and PIN.
