Scam Credit Card Offer Using Your Phone Number YIKES

Blog post by Mary Katherine May.

Freaky weird bizarre thing just happened: one of those credit card recording that are a scam. You know the ones--an offer too good to turn down, or press 1 to get off of our list and of course you don't. 

HERE is the uncomfortable feely part: It came from our telephone number! So I called our phone company. Phone Man Carlos says it is happening a lot. It is not hacking but the scammers can mask where they call from with your own number. 


YIKES! IT FEELS LIKE A TV CRIME SHOW!

Nothing you can do BUT you can sign up if you haven't all ready with the national Do Not Call Registry, where you can also file complaints. Phone Man Carlos said it should help. Here is the website address--just follow the directions.
