Description

The caller called me claiming to be from the Digital Activation Department. They claimed that a business for the target was not available on the major search engines and platforms. I had been receiving calls from them a few times day since the beginning of this week. They asked for phone number, email and if I owned the company they were calling for. They likely were going to ask for money to put it on a search engine which appears to only be a ploy to get you to give out personal information. The caller ID notes them as a "Potential Spam." I hung up and saw that it was a common scam after looking it up. Just with the initial questions they could have been trying to collect vocal patterns for stealing identity.
