I am surprised nobody has tried to phish on inbound call basis. Call a bank
customer, leave an official sounding automated message with a local DID or
toll-free number for the customer to call back. 

Once they call back, just patch them through to the standard bank IVR line
and skim DTMF for account number and phone banking password. Not exactly
sure how much damage you can do with this info, but if you record the call
you could probably get all other relevant info from security questions posed
by the bank CSR...

The attack could work on mail-> inbound call or e-mail -> inbound call
basis. 

Just bounce the number through a set of DIDs in several countries, and you
cover your tracks or at least make it complicated for law enforcement to
track you down. Use disposable credit cards to pay the bills and presto...
you are invisible. 

But maybe I'm just more evil than the average bear :)

FYI: I recently was contacted by The TD Bank Fraud Prevention Dept --
except it wasn't TD who called me: it was a fraudster. He was very
slick. He covered all the bases including his callerID which reported
the real number for the Bank Fraud Prevention Dept
