The caller asked Langer if she could go to her bank to resolve the issue. “How far is the bank from your house?” he asked.Ī few blocks away, Langer answered. Because it was late afternoon, however, she wasn’t sure if it would be open when she got there. The caller noted that the bank didn’t close until 4:30, which meant she still had 45 minutes.
“He was very insistent,” Langer told me recently. On her computer screen, the caller typed out what he wanted her to say at the bank. “Don’t tell them anything about the refund,” he said. She was to say that she needed to log in to check her statements and pay bills. Langer couldn’t recall, when we spoke, if she drove to the bank or not. He advised her to go back the next morning.īut later that afternoon, she rang the number the caller had given her and told him she had been unable to get to the bank in time. By now, Langer was beginning to have doubts about the caller.
