I had a missed call and a voicemail from a Catherine at United financial saying that I was preapproved for up to $52,000 in hardship relief funds and it was “tied to my profile and updated relief guidelines.” Whatever that means. I am pretty awesome at sensing scams, and especially when a large amount of money is being offered for not doing anything it was a giant red flag so I immediately googled “ united financial” and found lots of information and realized other people had received similar calls from a Catherine, but using different financial company names asking for their SSN and bank routing numbers and some people did end up giving out their information to find out it was not legitimate. I don’t know if they’re trying to take money or just people identities. I didn’t actually get scammed. I just figured I would share in case it could help someone else.
