Local woman foils phone scam
Teresa George, 72, received a voicemail from someone claiming to be from Capital One. It wasn’t out of left field because she had filed a dispute with the credit card company back in January. When Teresa got home, she checked the case number mentioned in the message, but it didn’t match the one provided by the credit card company. Instead of calling the number back, she took out her credit card and called the customer service number on the back of it.
