Description
A promotional phone call from a fake Spectrum employee stating my internet bill would be cut in half if I purchased $400 in Target gift cards. I was told the gift cards didn’t go thru and asked to purchase 2 more cards several times. The scammers had the last 4 digits of my Spectrum account so I thought everything was legit, they were very good at sounding like they were part of Spectrum. It was a case of “something too good to be true.”
