New TD Sophisticated Phishing / Scam
Hey everybody! I've recently seen a new, sophisticated phishing method, and I want to share it to help keep others from getting scammed.
I've been getting calls from 1-888-330-3056 2-3 times a day, although it may seem like a legit number, on Twitter, TD Canada confirmed that it's a legit phone number. However, when I called the official TD number 1 (866) 222-3456 they confirmed with me that they never called me and there are no notes or anything outstanding on my account. They also said that the number is not recognized which confused me because on Twitter, TDCanada said it was legit.
When I picked up the call from that number, I would hear the phone dialing someone. I tried calling back with my Calling App it says "the number you are dialing is unallocated."
When I call back that number on my phone, it goes to the automated TD voice, which sounds really legit. They ask you to enter your access card and answer some questions which shouldn't happen because my phone number is already on file and my voice is already recognized by their voice recognition.
What I think is happening is that they are spoofing that number to get people to answer to provide them with their access card number and their voice so the scammer can use it, then spoof your number when the scammer is calling TD and use your access card, and your voice to access your account and drain it. This method is Sophisticated, because it makes you pick up. This is how TD collections do it, they call you multiple times a day, which makes you think its legit.
