A: Yes, and either way, you are screwed!
These are appearing more and more frequently in my inbox. They don’t send you to a bogus site, instead, they are sitting on their lazy backsides waiting for you to call them. Some of them claim this is a toll-free number, some claim they are in Indiana, or other states. Fact is, 641-665-XXXX is an exchange from New Haven, Iowa.
Interestingly enough, 641 is also used for calling card calls and other types of greedy tactics. Don’t people in Iowa have any legitimate business to attend to?
NEVER call a number provided in an email asking for personal info or telling you you’re a winner of some fortune or your card/account has been suspended/terminated, etc…. Call the number on your monthly statement or on the website you always go to (don’t click on a link in an email).
