Look at this email I got... Fraud? Scam?

Read the email below. This is really amazing. I called the number, put on hold, then someone answers. He says, SS # please. I'm like, what??, and he's like, what email are you responding to, I say some email regarding fail login, but none of my accts are frozen. He replies, ok, that's a fraud email, do NOT go to that website. I'm like ok. He's like forward it over to: [email protected]. I asked what # did I call, and he said it was the fraud division of all usa banks. What the F-- is going on. I"m not forwarding this email to anyone. they'll probably just collect my email info.

yes but what makes this scam even more advanced than others is that it has a working phone # with a real person on the end of the line that says he's from the fraud division for US Banks. He then proceeds to try to collect your info. Wouldn't it be easy to trace this guy down with his 800 #. I would suggest you guys try calling it and see for yourself, pretty interesting. use *67 or something so he can't trace your number.
