In your tweets you mention "And now... joyfully resetting all my passwords, filing a police report, getting additional fraud detection in place". What passwords are you talking about and why do you need to reset them? As far as I can tell no passwords have been compromised in the attack as you describe it.

Or do you suspect that there's been an other, undisclosed breach that the scammer used to get your name and phone number? I suppose it's plausible but it seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to get that info.

Should have written that more clearly. More accurate verbiage would have been "changing all my banking credentials, and enabling all possible notifications". I have no reason to believe other credentials were compromised, and have unique pw in place for nearly everything.
