Description

Scammer acted like rep from PNC Bank fraud department. I received a text saying "PNC-BankAlert:Did you Attempt a Transaction to Walmart For 378.00 Reply YES or NO. To opt out of Text Alerts, Reply STOP. PNC-Bank Prevention MSG. I replied no and a man called me immediately. He advised would send me a new card but when he asked me for the expiration date, I became really suspicious telling him he should have that. He then asked for the 3-digit security code and I advised not giving it to him and I'm calling PNC. At that point he hung up.
