FBI warns about bank scam

(CNN)– The FBI is warning people about a phone scam that can cost thousands of dollars.

Fraudsters are calling people and claiming to represent banks.

Many of them can spoof caller ID so the name of the bank comes up when the phone rings.

One victim said the scammer even knew her account number and exact balance.

According to the FBI, legitimate banks will never ask for your username or password over the phone.

You should ignore any request to move money or gain access to your bank account.
