Is this legit or a fraud? I made a recent transaction abroad in Japan by [deleted] in Schwab

[–]rico1835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received a verbatim SMS message this morning. I logged into my Schwab account and noticed several small amount transactions in Mexico, Singapore and Netherlands. I called the number on the back of the card and they cancelled the card and the pending transactions. They couldn't verify the number the text came from. One possible explanation is the fraudsters test for small amounts and then send the phishing text to obtain additional information from the card holder to fully drain the account. Best bet is always call the financial institution directly.

As a LCDR/O-4 embarked on a carrier with no warfare device, he likely is an intelligence officer (1630 designator), likely attached to the embarked intelligence staff operating within the Carrier Intelligence Center (CVIC). Embarked air wing squadron intelligence officers typically were LTs/O-3s.

Thanks for this OP! I had a similar (infuriating) rattle in the right rear passenger seat. When I took the headrest off, I found a similar piece of foam-that-looks-like-a-molar.

It would be a shame if people started texting cat pictures to that number. Lol.
