Ugh. Just got off of Amazon chat about a phone call I received. I thought it might be a scam but I wanted to make sure. The message said that my Visa would be charged something like $77.97 for today's order and if I had made the order just hang up, but if I had NOT made the order I was to call a number (not 800 btw) to have the charge removed. So I found the Amazon Support Chat and spoke with them about it. As I suspected, do NOT return that call. I'd never even HEARD of Amazon making a call like that.

I hate scammers.....Here in Ohio, an electric utility was caught overcharging its customers for 2 years. The official agreement has them paying back the overage over time. I get at least 2 calls per day offering to collect the full amount on my behalf now. Just need that utility account number, and oh, yeah, your checking account number.

I hate scammers too... Good on you for following up like you did!

 

[Britesea]

yeah, and I gave Amazon the phone number they told me to call. Hopefully it will help the authorities find the scammers.

Oh, I had meant to show you my favorite Christmas gift this year. This mug makes me giggle.

We get at least 3 scam calls/day. Usually some foolishness about "call this number to remove such and such a charge from your such and such account". Usually, it's a robot voice, or someone who doesn't speak English. Then, there's the computer lock up with a robot saying: "Your computer has been hacked. Do not turn off your computer. Call this number for immediate technical support...." A lot of scammers use phone numbers with our town's tel number digits. Then, there's the... "Hello, Hello. Can you hear me?" Never say "yes" to one of these. They can then dub your "yes" statement into what ever script they are scamming. I never answer my phone unless I know who is calling. I tell everyone that they need to speak to my answering machine in order to talk to me.
