Title: Is Dwolla calling other people?
Post by: thefussydutchman on July 12, 2011, 08:53:44 PM
I am sure it was them that just called me. All they asked was the spelling of my last name and confirm my address.
Anyone else have this happen?

It was a bit. But nice to know they are looking out for us.

They called me and left a message on my voicemail. I didn't call back because you never know who it is that is calling you. It could have been a scam.
And there was no problem with my account anyways, so I didn't need to talk to them.

If they call you, just check if the callback number is the same as on their website

They called when I did a large withdrawal from my dwolla to my bank account.  Fine by me.  That was a few weeks ago BTW.

That could easily be faked, you can get the ability to spoof caller ids for chump change. Regardless, I'm pretty sure these calls are legit.

They are legit. Like I said only name and address confirmation.  Without a password that info is useless.

But with name and address, and a knife, they can have your password easily enough.  :D

In a way, I actually think this makes them more secure than Paypal.  With Paypal, you get an e-mail and that's it.  At least Dwolla is taking the initiative to verify each user as they come.  So I want to send a big thank you out to them for putting forth the extra effort to make it secure.
