A few days after my relative’s obituary appeared in the papers, I got a call from someone who said they were a debt collector and that my relative had owed money. They are telling me I have to pay and asking me for my bank account information so they can withdraw the funds. How do I know if this is a scam? What can I do?
Answer:
Do not ever give your bank account information to someone who calls you on the phone. This could be a scam. You are not obligated to give the caller this information.
