I was getting the apple support call everyday and my hubby pick up the phone and yelled at them. I never picked it up and just kept getting vmails. since he did that I haven't had a call.
I don't answer my phone unless I know who it is. figure if it is something important and I don't answer they will leave a message. 99% of the time the message is garbage. |

Unfortunately, scammers have gotten so clever that I've received several phone calls from numbers I do know and it still was a scam. Once I received a call on my landline from MY OWN CELL PHONE NUMBER. The phone was sitting next to me and I sure as heck wasn't calling myself. Answering calls only from a number you know is not fool proof either.

I get dozens of these types of emails and phone calls weekly. It's insane. I kept getting an email from my bank telling me there was fraudulent activity and my account was suspended.
CharM, I used to tell my mother not to answer the phone period. With the fake caller IDs they use, your parents might think they know the caller when they really don't. I got calls from my husband's cell phone number with his name on the caller ID so I picked it up and it wasn't him! Crazy. |

I got an email from Amazon that an order was declined ( I interpreted this as refused to accept- so wouldn't show under my recent orders) because the information provided was not consistent with the information they had on file. I assumed it was a scam, but checked for the credit card I have on file at Amazon, and it was gone. I somehow lost it. So I think it may have been real. I still didn't press the link.
