Heads up folks:) Scammers are trying to take full advantage of people being afraid that the SS#s have been hacked. Got a notice a few days ago that my info was on the dark web, 'unknown' phone numbers started showing up two days ago, today I answered one and it was someone claiming to be with Barclay Card services advising me my card had been used at Home Depot. Of course it hadn't. Put me on hold while he 'checked on it'...came back to assure me it had been used, gave me the FIRST five numbers of the card (which they never do if legit) and told me the money had already come out of my bank account with them. Said I was already on the computer checking my account and that I don't have a bank account with them...he hung up immediately. Heard from another friend that he has been getting email notices that he needs to contact a digital coin base but when he checks the emails, they aren't from there. Stay alert...
