Description
Said that an attempt to open a Walmart account and purchase a PlayStation 5 in my name for $1537.34. I was transferred to an individual claiming to be from the FCC. After being transferred, I was told that they wanted to do a background check on me! Red flag! I told the person to stop with the scamming and I hung up.
