Sure.
We received a text from “USPS” saying that we missed the delivery of a package with a link to a fake website requesting a small fee to have the package redelivered. We used our debit card to pay the fee. Later that night we received a call from our bank’s fraud team stating that the early charge to USPS was fraudulent and that someone was attempting to use our card.

The caller from the bank was scamming us. The phone number they were calling from was spoofed to reflect the real banks phone number and the had the information from the earlier USPS transaction to feed back to me so as to seem legit. The caller seemed American and was friendly, and helpful.

He then had me verify the rest of the account info and then told me he was sending me a security check to my phone to ensure that everything was working correctly. I was instructed to accept the message and I stupidly did. My account was then locked out. Everything was transferred into one account and then that account was emptied into apple play cards.
