My mother got a Viber message on her tablet, ostensibly from her bank, that her new credit card is ready and she should come and get it. The message listed the first and the last 4 numbers of her card. Except that neither set of numbers matched any of her cards (or mine) and her card isn't set to expire until the next year. I was ready to dismiss it as some kind of elaborate scam, but Viber insisted that the message indeed came from the bank. This isn't e-mail with headers to check and I'm not familiar with Viber, so who knows... Maybe the bank sent the notification to the wrong person by mistake? Anyway, my mother insisted that we go and check.
