Description
A voicemail message on my landline claimed that a "preauthorized" purchase of a Playstation 5 special edition bundle including a 3-D wireless headset had been made using my name and phone number at a cost of $1,537.35. If I hadn't authorized this transaction, I should call back immediately to the number on my caller ID screen; or I could call their toll-free number at 833.696.2192. The message said I should "respond promptly to prevent any unauthorized activity" on my account. Clearly a scam. I have made no such purchase, nor do any of my bank accounts indicate such.
