Description

Saw the phone number from Maryland, so just let it go to voice mail. When I listened, it jumped right to (as in, it sounds like the first part was cut off. In other words, they didn't identify themselves.) They specifically listed an item I had purchased 2 weeks ago, "has been ordered using your Name, and phone number, for a total amount of $1537.35. If you did not authorize this transaction, please take immediate action. To cancel the order to speak with a customer support representative, call us back Immediately on the same number that appears on your caller ID for direct connection. We urge you to respond promptly to prevent any unauthorized activity on your account. Thank you." Notice, the did NOT give a type of account, or an account number. I checked with my cardholder and this amount does not appear as a pending amount, so obviously they wanted me to call right back and then they would have me. Very sneaky and tricky. I could see an older person falling for this, but the fact that they started out describing the exact item I had charged a couple weeks ago seems concerning. Still, like I said, they did not list my account number.
