I got a call from someone claiming to be from fraud department of my
bank over the weekend. The call showed up on my caller ID as US Bank
which is how I have it saved in my contacts. He said there was a
fraudulent charge from American Airlines and I was on that their website
booking a flight about an hour prior to the call.
For a moment I thought it was legit but then he asked for a pin #.
Just be careful because the caller ID makes it seem real. The actual
fraud department said they have seen this multiple times with the caller
ID showing as the bank.

Honestly any time people start asking for personal id stuff and I didn’t call them, I nope out of the call.
Banks and credit card companies do not ask for your PIN. They don’t need it and it is NOT used in their systems to verify your ID on the phone. The most they will ask for is the last four digits of your SSN (in the US). If they ask for the whole number, it’s not them. The PIN is used to ID you in automated systems (ATMs, card readers in stores) NOT by the customer service people. Ever. Nope, not even the fraud departments. NEVER.
This southern sea otter is pawsitively excited to sea you!
These otterly adorable creatures can be found in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, where they serve as an important keystone species in kelp forests. Sea otters eat invertebrates like sea urchins, which like to chow down on kelp. By eating urchins, sea otters help keep those populations down so the forest can grow and thrive.
When you’re visiting the coast, give these significant otters plenty of space – a zoom lens can be key!
