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
Not new, been around for couple years also the Amazon email scam. They just finely got to you. I wouldn’t answer, call back, or play around once the know got live number the pass it on to rest of scammers. Got rid of land line, tired of getting 10 more scams day. With my cell phone it I don’t recognize the number I don’t answer and block it.
