[Coco] A note to Android phone users

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings coconuts;

3 weeks ago I got a call on the landline, phishing. They knew everything 
about my CC but the number on the back. I called the caller several 
unflatering names, hung up. Called back while I was looking up the banks 
phone number, scene repeated. Called the bank and froze the card, then 
went down to them and made arrangements for a new one.  Tracing back, it 
turned out to be Samsung Pay, I guess a wannabe paypal.

So if you have an android phone, and have ever bought anything from it, 
watch your card account on a daily basis.

Maybe its legit, but the guy that called me was sure phishing to beat the 
band since my cell phone is a bare bones phone, with a now expired sim 
card in it. And he knew enough that the csv number would have allowed my 
account to be drained in 5 minutes.  So beware of phishers with card 
numbers etc that "just want to confirm".
