Here's an update on my automated bank call:
This was a HUGE fraud. It was all over the news in Utah. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/money/5...omers.html.csp

The scammers called thousands of Utah phone numbers, and the bank was on the news warning everybody not to give out their account numbers. The said they would never call customers and ask for account numbers.
Since we still use our Utah cell phone numbers, the scammers called us, too.

Bottom line:

If you call the bank, it's ok to discuss your accounts.

If the bank calls you & wants your account numbers, tell them you'll call them back. Don't call them back at the number they gave you on the phone. Call the bank's number in the phone book.
