Default sneaky new scam

received a phone call today from a very believable and articulate American sounding male voice saying that Amazon security is alerting me to a questionable charge against the credit card I use on my Amazon account to the tune of $1,499.50.

And that if this wasn't anything I had authorized I should press 1 now for more information or press 2 to dispute

so I figured I'd play along and pressed 1

sure enough someone with a heavy accent came on the line asking a series of questions all designed to get me to say the word "Yes"

after a few questions I told her that my toast had just popped up and I needed to go butter them.....

be careful, they're out there and they're getting slicker and more devious every day
